EVE Online begins major upgrade to Python 3 after 16 years

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The online game EVE Online is beginning its transition from Stackless Python 2.7 to Python 3, a process that will involve converting millions of lines of code. This significant upgrade follows their last major update in 2010 and aims to modernize the game's underlying technology. The development team has previously replaced Stackless Python in their newer game, EVE Frontier, with their own open-source carbonengine/scheduler library. AI

IMPACT Minimal direct impact on AI operations; primarily a software engineering update for a long-standing game.

RANK_REASON This is a software upgrade for a specific product, not a frontier release or significant industry event.
