I have been using bzr for quite some time. While my host didn't provide bzr (but did support Python), it was just a matter of untaring it and adding it to the path on the server. It worked out quite well as one fine day the server crashed and lost all the data. Luckily I had a bzr repo locally so it was just a matter of pushing it to the server. For private hosting I basically use bzr+ssh smart server on my host and launchpad for my hobby projects.
