Thanks.  That's not what the dev guide says in its intro here:

    http://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html#getting-the-source-code

(That is, the dev guide has a new sub-audience other than just people new to
Python core development.  It also now has to cater a little to people like
me with little Mercurial experience.)

I don't like that at all.

That seems better.

Thx,
