This is my report for the updates:

I updated python-colorlog, python-zeroconf, python-watchdog and python-
wrapt to latest versions.

The update on python-zeroconf will likely break pulseaudio-dlna which
depends on python2-zeroconf. Upstream also abandoned the project and it
now lives in a fork that can be found here¹. Packaging the fork will
require packaging python-pyroute2 which seems to lead to another chain
of new packages.

Updating Flask to version 2.0 will require updates on python-
itsdangerous, python-werkzeug and python-jinja2, which would have to
rebuild 600+ packages.

I tried to update python-websockets-client to latest version but the
tests hung and I couldn't figure out why.

I'll send a v2 soon.
