Could some text be added to the svn browser pages to at least indicate that the repo is no longer being updated with a link to the hg.python.org browser?   I'm not sure what to do about the repos themselves if people attempt to do an svn co.  Perhaps that should just be disabled totally for python? At least some of the stuff in the SVN repo is still needed, AFAICT. I recently did a build of the Python Windows binary installer, and I understand (from the buildbot instructions) that the best source of some of the external dependencies (bz2, Tcl/Tk, openssl etc.) is still the SVN repo.

SVN is also used to fetch third-party tools to build documentation, such as: sphinx, docutils, jinja, and pygments. These locations are also advertised on http://docs.python.org/py3k/documenting/building.html (that contains outdated info, but that's another story).
