Thomas A. Hein has setup a one-shot mirror of the CPython SVN with branch support here: http://hg.intevation.org/tmp/python/python/ And there is a mirror here: http://hg.alexanderweb.de/python-temp/ You can clone it by running `hg clone URL`, and then `hg serve` to see the repo in your web browser. For me that needed less than 5 minutes on a well-connected machine. For beginners, there is a nice explanation about DVCS here: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/UnderstandingMercurial Kind regards, Alexander _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
