Note that once you have a branch with all of Python built, for any of hg, git, bzr you may prefer to clone the branch/repo with "cp -r" or "rsync" rather than "$VCS clone". The reason for doing it with "$VCS clone" is to get a pristine workspace without any cruft like editor backups or build products. If you *want* a crufty workspace (and in this case some people do), a recursive copy is a better tool. _______________________________________________ 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
