Hey everybody, I'm trying to download the python sources with hg and it's taking a while ... 7+ minutes so far and all I've got is .../cpython and .../cypython/.hg . Any ideas as to why there's a delay? I'm following the dev guide with this command: hg clone http://hg.python.org/cpython I'm on Linux Mint 14, using the supplied hg version 2.2.2 . My internet connection seems speedy enough. TIA! Sean -- A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. - Abraham Maslow

Sean, 7 minutes doesn't sound bad. Keep in mind that with Hg, the whole repository is being cloned to your computer - all active (and inactive) branches, all history, etc. The up-side is that after this initial clone, subsequent pulls are pretty quick and all other operations are local and super fast (log, blame, etc.) Eli

To further clarify what Eli said, "the whole repo" gets put into that .hg directory *first*, and only at the end is a working directory checkout done. So all you will see is cpython/.hg until the very last moment when it will start telling about the checkout being done. --David

We are actually having bandwidth issues with the current OSU/OSL hosting of python.org machines, which is affecting not only hg.python.org but also pypi.python.org, for at least some users. I believe Noah and friends/colleagues are investigating :-) Regards Antoine.
