[ACMCMC]

Description

When generating for python-flask, swagger_server/__init__.py contains four NUL characters that cause the following error:

% python -m swagger_server            
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../python3.10/runpy.py", line 187, in _run_module_as_main
    mod_name, mod_spec, code = _get_module_details(mod_name, _Error)
  File ".../python3.10/runpy.py", line 146, in _get_module_details
    return _get_module_details(pkg_main_name, error)
  File ".../python3.10/runpy.py", line 110, in _get_module_details
    __import__(pkg_name)
ValueError: source code string cannot contain null bytes

I am experimenting with the same problem. My workaround : use the web version of swagger generator.
