It needs to be decided where the hg repositories will live. I'd like<br>
to propose to keep the hgwebdir instance at <a href="http://hg.python.org" target="_blank">hg.python.org</a>. This is an<br>
accepted standard for many organizations, and an easy parallel to<br>
<a href="http://svn.python.org" target="_blank">svn.python.org</a>. The 2.7 (trunk) repo might live at<br>
<a href="http://hg.python.org/main/" target="_blank">http://hg.python.org/main/</a>, for example, with py3k at<br>
<a href="http://hg.python.org/py3k/" target="_blank">http://hg.python.org/py3k/</a>.<br>

I would very much like the 'k' dropped from the py3 name. It was a funny joke when py3 was vaporware, now it is excess baggage which only puzzles non-insiders and newcomers.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Is it really that confusing? I have never heard of anyone asking "what is py3k?" Plus I like keeping that bit of Python history around. I know I still use py3k as shorthand for Python 3.x. And we are not that serious of a bunch. =)<br>

I think the two repos should be either symmetrically named<br>
<br>
<a href="http://hg.python.org/py2" target="_blank">hg.python.org/py2</a><br>
<a href="http://hg.python.org/py3" target="_blank">hg.python.org/py3</a><br>
</blockquote><div><br>If we make it universal I say it should be '2.x' and '3.x'. The whole 'py' prefix is redundant.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
If one must be designated 'main', it should be py3.<br>
<br>
Continuing to call py2 'main' will continue to discourage use of py3.</blockquote><div><br>Yeah, 2.x shouldn't be special anymore. <br></div></div>
