Python now uses Mercurial
Git's Windows support is clearly the weakest since it requires either MinGW or Cygwin. The platform itself is unoptimized for native Windows performance. It may not be terrible but it's certainly the weakest of the DVCSs, as they say.

Because... we all know Windows Python users are stylin with the Windows command shell.
I agree with the grandparent, this decision was political.
