EVE Online: The Move to Python 3 Begins!
EVE Online is beginning its transition to Python 3, a move that will involve using the futurize script on 2.4 million lines of code and a manual review of about 20,000 differences between Python 2 and Python 3. The company has historically run on Stackless Python since 2003, with the last major upgrade in 2010 to Stackless Python 2.7. While the announcement does not detail how Stackless will be replaced, the team previously showcased a shift away from Stackless in their Carbon engine for EVE Frontier, leveraging the open‑source carbonengine/scheduler library.

Python 3.15.0 candidate 2 is here!
Python 3.15.0 candidate 2 has been released, marking the final release candidate for the upcoming 3.15 release scheduled for October. Hugo van Kemenade, the release manager, notes that only clear bug‑fix changes are allowed between this candidate and the final release, and urges third‑party maintainers to prepare wheels on PyPI and test their projects during this phase. The new RC is not yet available for GitHub Actions, but users can add it to their testing matrix using the allow‑prereleases and check‑latest flags to automatically test against the latest RC and then the stable release.

llm-anthropic 0.27
The release of llm‑anthropic 0.27 updates the Anthropic plugin for LLM to be compatible with the newly released anthropic v1.0.0 Python library, which has switched from httpx to httpx2. This mirrors a similar change made by OpenAI in their v3.0.0 release two weeks prior. The update includes a migration guide and a pull request that ensures tests pass after upgrading to anthropic>=1.
