We have not made a decision to move to Bazaar officially, nor have we made a decision to even move off of Subversion.

Good, because between this now and pytz the other 63 projects I follow use Subversion or Mercurial. Bazaar seems to be mostly limited to Ubuntu users and stuff Canonical does, so the choice for a Bazaar setup next to Subversion strikes me a bit as odd. Mercurial is also Python, distributed and with a, as far as I (can) track things, bigger market share than Bazaar.

Hi, This is not quite true. One of the main bzr developers is a Windows guy, so the user base is/will be large, far larger than only Ubuntu. A lot of projects switched to bzr because of this. Honestly, I think that Hg and bzr fill the same need, but bzr developement at the moment is fantastic. For a still young product it is a good think (Hg is older). One additional good think is that there is a Sourceforge-like site that uses bzr ; launchpad.net. I don't know of something equivalent for Hg. Just my two (euro) cents ;) Matthieu -- French PhD student Website : http://matthieu-brucher.developpez.com/ Blogs : http://matt.eifelle.com and http://blog.developpez.com/?blog=92 LinkedIn : http://www.linkedin.com/in/matthieubrucher -- French PhD student Website : http://matthieu-brucher.developpez.com/ Blogs : http://matt.eifelle.com and http://blog.developpez.com/?blog=92 LinkedIn : http://www.linkedin.com/in/matthieubrucher
