I'd suggest updating the text at http://www.python.org/dev/bazaar/
In particular:

     What do I need?

     * Bazaar 1.0 or newer. As of this writing (04-Nov-2008) Bazaar 1.8
     is the most recent release. As Bazaar is written in Python (yay!),
     it is available for all major platforms, See the Bazaar home page
     for information about versions for your platform.
