Thank you for this. 

This is kind of annoying, as calibre-web clearly only supports up to 3.13
(based on:
https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/blob/master/requirements.txt)
Will you put the patch in upstream to in a PR / issue ticket?
Of course as a port maintainer of py-flask-limiter, I want to ship the latest
and greatest.
In this case, this has a serious downside for calibre-web.
Another way is to create a dedicated port of flask-limiter for calibre-web that
sticks to 3.13, or you can try fetch it in the calibre-web port. Where the last
of the two is the most efficient I think, as creating a port for every version
seems unfeasible in the long term.

For me, your patch is also fine of course, but I would like to give you all
options that are possible.
