This is absolutely not what I get, see my other reply. Which version
of Python do you have? Where is mercurial installed? Do you have
special environment variables?

Oh wait. I think I know what the problem is: my mercurial is installed
in the default location (site-lib), but the scripts are not ... I
guess that you installed all of mercurial in its own folder, outside
of the Python tree and all in one place, so the mercurial directory
under the script path is found first.
