What is the ultimate version control tool for Python if you are working in a
Windows environment?
We use JEDI VCS (open source, free). To be fair, JEDI VCS actually integrates into the Delphi IDE, which is what we use mostly. However, the standard installation also installs a standalone client (as opposed to the IDE client) that you can use for anything. Actually, we use the standalone client for latex documentation, so I know it works well for non-Delphi stuff.
The JEDI VCS server download (now) contains an embedded firebird database, which makes setting up the whole server thing a total breeze. I just did it a few days ago, took all of 2 minutes to set up the server and start the service (and send a mail out to everyone asking them to install the new client). Firebird is based on Interbase, if that means anything to you.
You get full access controls (check-in/check-out), version history, rollbacks, milestones, integrated diff, check-in requests, per-file check-in/check-out comments, automated database backup, and so on. I cannot recommend it highly enough actually :) Though we use it all the time, we hardly think about it much, which is a really great feature for this type of thing.
Of course, I have only used JEDI VCS, so I have nothing to compare it to: ymmv.
