This issue is caused by the flasgger.pythonanywhere.com deployment not having the marshmallow package installed (at all), because it is only in requirements-dev.txt and not in setup.py (or requirements.txt).

I propose adding an optional extras to setup.py if adding marshmallow will be a common-enough additional module, otherwise just update the deployment on pythonanywhere to pre-install that module. Then to fully resolve, the pythonanywhere deployment scripts will need an update (I don’t think those are currently in the project).
