[Python-Dev] do people use sys._mercurial? (original) (raw)

Since we are going to be switching over to Git, sys._mercurial is going to be made to return a dummy value of ('CPython', '', '') once we switch to Git. But my question is do we bother to replace it with sys._git? I wanted to make sure that the effort is worth it to keep changing these VCS-specific attributes every time we change our VCS (and no, we are not going to adopt a generic one; already had that debate). So do please speak up if you actually have found value from sys._mercurial. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
