was made to go with Mercurial.
The choice to go with Mercurial was made for three important reasons:
* According to a small survey, Python developers are more interested in
using Mercurial than in Bazaar or Git.
* Mercurial is written in Python, which is congruent with the python-dev
tendency to 'eat their own dogfood'.
* Mercurial is significantly faster than bzr (it's slower than git, though
by a much smaller difference).
* Mercurial is easier to learn for SVN users than bzr.
Although all of these points can be debated, in the end a pronouncement from
the BDFL was made to go with hg as the chosen DVCS for the Python project. A
detailed plan for the migration strategy has been deferred to `PEP 385`_.
