One argument that keeps coming up is transferability of knowledge: knowing git and/or GitHub, as many seem to, it therefore becomes easier to commit to the Python ecosystem.
What about the transferability of Python knowledge? Because I know Python, I can customize hg; because I know Python I can customize Roundup.
I do not choose tools simply because they are written in Python -- I choose them because, being written in Python, I can work on them if I need to: I can enhance them, I can fix them, I can learn from them.

Git uses the idea of small individual commands that do small things, so you can write your own commands that work on text streams to extend git and you can even write those in Python. --- Donald Stufft PGP: 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
