-was made to go with Mercurial.
-
-The choice to go with Mercurial was made for four important reasons:
-
-* According to a small survey, Python developers are more interested in
-  using Mercurial than in Bazaar or Git.
-
-* Mercurial is written in Python, which is congruent with the python-dev
-  tendency to 'eat their own dogfood'.
-
-* Mercurial is significantly faster than bzr (it's slower than git, though
-  by a much smaller difference).
-
-* Mercurial is easier to learn for SVN users than bzr.
-
-Although all of these points can be debated, in the end a pronouncement from
-the BDFL was made to go with hg as the chosen DVCS for the Python project. A
-detailed plan for the migration strategy has been deferred to PEP 385.
