date: mid-may (free-threading push)

wanted:

• Python-3.14 free-threading complete at 90%
• Python-3.15.0 beta 2 ... with some free-threading wheels, as PEP 803 was accepted March 29th
• pylock / pip problem resolved
• AI local
• AI help to further simplify WinPython
• pandas-3.1, streamlit-1.56 on free-threading, numba-0.65
• wheels for python-3.15 free-threading may appear after beta 1

litebox ?

remark:

• numpy-2.5 will be more performant for free-threading than for multi-processing
• community effort is on the pep-803 free-threading stable abi3t for 3.15 beta1, that will unlock packages
• speed-up hopes: (prize = 80% speed of JavaScript for the interpreter, 80% speed of rust for abi3t packages)
  • JIT and internals: +10% per year (progressive)
  • free-threading: square-root(number of physical threads)
  • pep-803 is critical as it allows to combine these two factors.
