For what it is worth, the two popular open source distributed revision 
control systems are git and Mercurial (hg). The developers of Python 
itself are now using Mercurial, so you might lean more towards 
Mercurial. I do.

Some Mercurial resources:

For git, you can do your own googling :-P

Source code hosting is available at (among others) Github, Bitbucket and 
Google Code.

Github uses git (well duh *wink*) and is free for Open Source projects.

Bitbucket uses Mercurial, and is free for small projects:

and Google Code also offers free hosting and Mercurial:
