My personal setup is just a combination of two existing sections in the devguide: http://docs.python.org/devguide/committing.html#using-several-working-copies http://docs.python.org/devguide/committing.html#long-term-development-of-features I could probably skip the personal sandbox if I used Mercurial queues to manage changes I didn't want to commit yet, but I'm currently liking the sandbox for the offsite backup and ease of synchronisation between my own machines. > One other question.

What > is/are the "main repos"? hg.python.org/sandbox/ncoghlan? > hg.python.org/cpython? By "main repos" I meant the 4 local repos that I have set up to (ultimately) push to hg.python.org/cpython. That should answer the singular-or-plural question, too :) So far I haven't found it necessary to use my sandbox to try out patches - I'll just try them as uncommitted changes in my main working copy for the relevant branch and then use "hg revert" to abandon them if I decide not to commit them.
