Moving these forward is probably a good idea (Python 3.9 support ends in about a year). However keep in mind that as long as the CPT dashboard backend runs on Python 3.9, it's also not necessary. The CentOS stream9 container base image used to deploy is 3.9.19.

Also, to fully support Python 3.10, other dependencies (including at least uvloop) need to be updated, and I suspect that any such effort should be made independent of any specific CPT dashboard feature.

@dbutenhof Got it! As there will be a need to update other dependencies to make them compatible with Python3.10, I'm withdrawing this PR.
