Python to move to GitHub Just over one year ago, LWN
covered the
deliberations within the Python project on how to improve its
development workflow. Now, after much discussion, it has been announced
that the project will be
moving over to GitHub. "
While there were
people who publicly said they would prefer not to go with GitHub but would
begrudgingly use it if we chose to go that route, I had multiple core devs
email me privately saying they hoped I would choose GitHub. I think most of
that stemmed from having used GitHub for other open source projects and/or
work, making even dormant core devs say they would be able to become active
again if we switched to GitHub thanks to eliminating the barrier of having
to keep up with our custom workflow for code reviews and using hg for
commits."
