Description

Sadly this library relies on another third-party which installs some markupsafe/_speedups.so native code. Google App Engine Standard environment does not allow installation of native code. Is it possible to update Silk to be GAE compatible?

Research direction
Investigate the dependency on markupsafe. Determine if it can be used without the native speedups.so extension on GAE Standard. Review the project's dependencies in setup.py and consider using a pure Python alternative like the markupsafe from Jinja2. Also check GAE's documentation on allowed libraries. Ensure that profiling functionality remains intact after the change.
