Zero days since #CPython broke the extension ABI at the very last minute after asking everyone repeatedly to test prereleases. And of course they don't bother tracking ABI changes in any way, so they could at least give people heads up that important pieces of their system will start segfaulting after the upgrade. All they can offer is a knee-jerk response of "we never promised ABI stability".
And yes, this is a huge PITA for #Gentoo users who opted in to helping out.

Odd: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Python currently says 3.12 is WIP to be made the default... while pkg tells me it's vulnerable, and 3.15 is the current upstream release, and pkg says:
"python315-3.15.0 Pre-release versions of the interpreted object-oriented programming language"
I guess the wiki is pretty outdated or smth?
So now that #awscli 1.x is pretty much dead, I've finally gotten around to packaging 2.x properly for #Gentoo. You know, the one where other developers claimed it was impossible to build from source because (checks notes) upstream said so. So we instead must use their horrible 70M binary package that bundles its own Python interpreter along with all the random libraries and dependencies.
And guess what? Sure, they don't publish it to PyPI anymore, but it still is a regular #Python package branched out from 1.x. It has regular Python package dependencies, a regular Python build backend and when you build it with it, you get a regular Python wheel that can be installed and just works with the system Python and system dependencies.
Sure, it's crap, but it's no worse than the 1.x crap. It bundles a modified fork of the unreleased 2.x branch of botocore (now dead for 5 years, apparently) and a fork of s3transfer. It has some random meaningless dependency pins that we patch out. It has a horrible test suite that can eat tons of memory if run via xdist, but with some hackery, I've gotten it to work reasonably.
Honestly, I feel like Gentoo developers these days just don't care to even try.

Stabilizer complexity and the Python's lunch

arXiv:2608.12472v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this note, we study the stabilizer complexity of the reduced density matrix corresponding to one side of a partially entangled thermal (PET) state with fixed energy boundary conditions in a holographic CFT. In particular, we study Wigner negativity, an operationally meaningful magic monotone which can be interpreted as the complexity of classically simulating any quantum circuit preparation of the reduced state on the subregion. Using assumptions on the pseudorandomness of the CFT spectrum and the heavy operator insertion, we observe that the Wigner negativity of the PET state relative to the microcanonical density matrix at the given energy is given by $\exp\left[\frac{1}{8G_N}(A_{\text{out}} - A_{\text{min}})\right]$, where $A_{\text{out}}$ is the area of the outer extremal surface, while $A_{\text{min}}$ is the area of the minimal extremal surface. Thus, the stabilizer complexity of the reduced density matrix on the boundary subregion is $O(1)$ in the absence of a python's lunch, but gets exponentially enhanced in the presence of a python's lunch in the bulk geometry.

Good morning! Since it's become a drag to support in mainline, I've extracted svcs's Pyramid support into an own package svcs-pyramid.
That means, the next svcs version will ship WITHOUT a `svcs.pyramid` module.
You can start using svcs-pyramid TODAY to avoid breakage the moment 26.2.0 drops – there are no code changes, just adjust the import statement:
So I'm just YOLOing it now.
New packages to be INSTALLED:
py312-packaging: 26.3 [FreeBSD-ports]
python312: 3.12.14_1 [FreeBSD-ports] (vulnerable!)
I don't know why this old Python stuff is there... I'd be happy to have the latest.
I haven't figured this out in many years of using FreeBSD.
Guess I need to manually switch?
No idea where to read up on this, search gets me nothing helpful.

Zero days since I've discovered a random #CPython bug that triggers in very specific circumstances and I don't really have time to report it, nor can expect anyone to do it for me.
This time it's a test failure and refcounts being broken while running fastjsonschema's test suite on #Python 3.15 freethreading with pytest's --junit-xml option enabled 😱. And of course removing --junit-xml makes all tests pass.
EDIT: and of course I cannot reproduce outside Portage. Yet inside, it reliably crashes every single time.
