Python is discussing whether to migrate to GitHub.

The version control system of the source code library used by the Python Software Foundation has undergone many changes, from CVS to Subversion to Mercurial used today. Now the Python community is discussing whether to migrate to GitHub. GitHub only supports the Git distributed version control system, so it also means that Python needs to be migrated to Git.

The developer compares the time required to process the current patch-based system and GitHub pull request pull requests. It is found that it takes about 10 to 15 minutes for the existing system to process a simple patch, the advantage of pulling requests in less than one minute is obvious.

Guido van rosum, the father of the Python language, and the benevolent dictatorship, supports migration to GitHub. It is believed that GitHub is easy to use and most developers are familiar with how to use GitHub or easily learn how to use it. Of course, some people disagree with this and think that this is to cater to the public and abandon the community members.
