upstream says in 1.9.20 changelog:

    The matheval support has been removed, while a generic “matheval” plugin
    (for internal routing) is available (but not compiled in by default).
    See below for the new way for making “math” in config files.

Search on "uwsgi matheval" or "uwsgi math" yields no result.

Thanks,
