figured out this issue is due to using python3.14, or 3.13, and seems to work on older versions <3.11 .. which is weird but ok;

Ya this still relies on a Python package called Gino that's no longer maintained. It can be removed and replaced with SQLAlchemy directly because all of its features exist in SQLAlchemy now. At the time it was used because SQLAlchemy did not have asyncio support.

Maybe at some point I will sit down and finish doing this because I started removing it awhile ago on my local copy of Houdini and never got around to finishing it.
