    [$] Moving some of Python to GitHub?
    Over the years, Python's source repositories have moved a number of times,
    from CVS on SourceForge to Subversion at Python.org and, eventually, to
    Mercurial (aka hg), still on Python
    Software Foundation
    (PSF) infrastructure. But the new Python.org site
    code lives at GitHub
    (thus in a Git repository) and it looks like more pieces of Python's source
    may be moving in that direction. While some are concerned about moving away
    from a Python-based DVCS
    (i.e. Mercurial) into a closed-source web service, there is a strong
    pragmatic streak in the Python community that may be winning out.
