> If Python 3 is so wonderful, why are the Python 3 developers still using Python 2 in their toolchain? It's because it would reportedly take 1 man year to port Mercurial to Python 3.

Why would that have anything to do with it? We didn't write it and don't have any input into Mercurial, and it works fine for what it's used for right now. It's a source control tool, not a library we use in any way.

If we did the subversion switch today, it'd be to git, which again has nothing to do with Python versions (obviously).

What are some of the indicators that core devs have more interest in git than they did back then?

[briancurtin]

Conversations at the language summit, mostly. A lot more of us use git more often than we do hg these days as well.

Wasn't aware. Good to know, thanks.
