EVE Online is beginning its transition to Python 3, a move that will involve using the futurize script on 2.4āÆmillion lines of code and a manual review of about 20,000 differences between PythonāÆ2 and PythonāÆ3. The company has historically run on Stackless Python since 2003, with the last major upgrade in 2010 to Stackless PythonāÆ2.7. 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 openāsource carbonengine/scheduler library.
