FYI: this is the list of hooks currently employed: - pre: check whitespace - post: mail python-checkins inform regular buildbot inform community buildbot trigger website rebuild if a PEP was modified (but then, whether or not the PEPs will be maintained in hg also needs to be decided) All this is easy to do with Mercurial's hook system. One caveat is that stuff (like whitespace) only gets checked at push time, not at commit time (running commit hooks would have to be done on the client, but since we don't sandbox hooks, they would be a liability to distribute by default). People could still set them up locally for pre-commit if they want, of course, but otherwise they may need some trickery to modify the changesets they want to push.

When commits with bad whitespace changes are rejected on push, this is a pretty good incentive to run the pre-commit hook next time, so that you don't have to re-do all the commits in that batch :)
