GitHub. Looks like it is able to host binaries:
https://github.com/HexDecimal/python-tdl/releases

Between BB and GH, I was a bit proponent of BB solely because of
two reasons:

1. I used BB before it was acquired by Atlassian
2. It provides Mercurial support

Now that Google Code is gone and majority of my projects are
on GitHub including Spyder and everything I had on GC, I see no
reason to stay on BB.

Don't get me wrong - Mercurial is a wonderful thing, much better
than Git, but usability features of GH is much more awesome and
save a lot of time on pull requests (remember that declined status),
issue cross-linking, and interlinking between .md files.
