From the release page (http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.0/): This is a production release; we currently support these formats: ...

That said, I also plan to keep my core projects on 2.x for a few more months till django, ipython, debian repos etc. move to 3.x. But I do plan to play with 3.x some.

Re:Revision control & dev methods for 1 person project? on Wednesday December 03, 2008 @08:42AM (#384319)
I have a svn (1.5.x) repository on my server and use bzr-svn to access it. I and another developer push our changes to the server at logical points. On the server we have a simple svn workspace which we update when we want to publish our changes.

Works quite nicely. Also, you have the flexibility of using the regular svn client.

I haven't tried working with the 100% distributed solution as the current solution works. As there are only two developers we don't really have much need for branching.

If you want to use a DVCS you could also consider bzr (apart from git and hg).

Re:Why Git is Better Than X on Wednesday December 03, 2008 @06:22AM (#384248)
I am more of a bzr and svn user. Both work quite nicely for me. I haven't really used git on a project.

I know git performance is much much better than bzr but as thats not a major concern for small/medium projects, could someone who has used both bzr and git give some pointers on what one would be nicer to use than the other in areas other than performance?
