Well, not quite. :) Monday.

We have experimental Bazaar and Mercurial mirrors of the various branches.
I've just put up a loggerhead (think ViewCVS for Bazaar) instance on
code.python.org. http://code.python.org. I haven't installed pysqlite yet on
that box, but when I do, it will be much more responsive. (I also haven't
installed the init.d script yet so if it dies, let me know and I'll restart
it.)
Please note that these are *expermental*. We have not officially chosen a
dvcs, or even decided that we're moving to one. Brett as the head of the
infrastructure committee will have more to say about that.

I think you will like using Bazaar^H^H^H^H^H^Ha dvcs :).

I agree! How can we improve our development process, given that we're an all
volunteer organization?
