The development is being done on PyGtk versions 2.10 and 2.12.  

The patchbomb extension must be enabled for the email dialog to work,
but you can use the rest of the dialogs without it.  The extdiff
extension must be enabled and configured for some context menu options
in the status browser to work.  But in general, it doesn't require any
extensions to be enabled for the basic dialogs to work.

As for Mercurial, you need a relatively recent version.  0.9.5 and above
will surely work.  0.9.4 should be safe as well.  If you go back older
than that, your chances get slim.

Near the top of the status.py file is:

import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk

So that message is truly a mystery.

That is... hmm.  What version of Mercurial do you have?

Noted, thanks.
