It takes 15 minutes to clone with hg from hg.python.org on my machine.
It takes 4 minutes on the same machine to clone the semi-official
github mirror using git: 'git clone
https://github.com/python/cpython.git'

Those times are obviously affected by the fact that I have a very good
internet connection at work: neither of the above operations comes
close to the maximum bandwidth that I can access from some servers.
Perhaps if there are problems with hg.python.org you might want to try
the github mirror though.
