Actually I was thinking "instead" :-)

I am less sure about Launchpad these days. For whatever reasons Bazaar
is having Canonical resource removed so has no development momentum. It
is a great DVCS but Mercurial and especially Git have the mindshare.

Although Python (and Java) are in Mercurial, there seems to be a trend
to say Git is the winner of the DVCS war.
