If you only a review a patch (rather than say maintain and evolve it), there's
no point in using hg rather than SVN.
However, the mirrors are most of the time alive and up-to-date (sync period is
around 5 minutes):
http://code.python.org/hg

(perhaps you're thinking about http://hg.python.org/, which is an experimental
conversion of the SVN repo, not really meant for daily use)
