James Smith 0078d539de Fix flask-sock ImportError caused by simple-websocket missing from venv ...

When pip installs flask-sock into the venv, it finds simple-websocket
already satisfied in ~/.local (user site-packages from a prior install)
and skips installing it into the venv. The venv Python cannot import from
~/.local (user site-packages are disabled in venvs), so flask_sock's
top-level "from simple_websocket import Server" raises ImportError, and
all WebSocket features are silently disabled.

Fix: explicitly list simple-websocket>=0.5.1 as an install target in
setup.sh and requirements.txt so pip installs it into the venv
regardless of what is already present in user or system site-packages.
