Note that once you have a branch with all of Python built, for any of
hg, git, bzr you may prefer to clone the branch/repo with "cp -r" or
"rsync" rather than "$VCS clone".  The reason for doing it with "$VCS
clone" is to get a pristine workspace without any cruft like editor
backups or build products.  If you *want* a crufty workspace (and in
this case some people do), a recursive copy is a better tool.
