Does pythonanywhere support websockets

I would like to deploy a flask socket IO web app but i saw a post from 2 years ago saying Pythonanywhere does not support web sockets

It has been 2 years from now! I know it's not easy to have, I know it needs a lot of work, but you are losing a lot of users due to it actually. Are there any plans to support WebSocket? If yes when can I expect that?

It should happen at some point. We can't give you any dates.
