I decided to move SNAKES from Launchpad to Google code. The main reasons for this change are:

• ease of use: Launchpad has always been for me a nightmare to use. In contrast, I immediately felt comfortable with Google code
• speed: Google code is much, much faster
• features: Google code provides a wiki, I can track visits and downloads

I'll keep using Launchpad to host SNAKES' Ubuntu packages, for this, it cannot be replaced! Notice that I do not blame Launchpad, possibly I'm just a poor user. But for sure I'm a better user with Google code...
Source tarballs, online documentation, issues tracker, and hg repository are now all available from the Python-SNAKES project page.
The main consequence of this change is that I had to switch from Bazaar to Mercurial. After having tried for hours to convert properly my repository, I finally gave up and started a new development line from the current state of source code. I known that conversion is supposed to be easy using hg convert or tailor, but in my case they simply failed. But that's not a big issue, the original history will stay available at Launchpad!
