Installing mercurial for hgwebdir on Mac OS X Server

[Eric Arseneau]

ImportError: No module named mercurial

To give more useful detail, here is the error log entry

[Sun Oct 11 16:00:13 2009] [error] [client 74.87.27.225] Traceback  
(most recent call last):

Also, it seems that Snow Leopard has upgraded the Python from 2.5 to  
2.6.  It is very likely that there are issues in the tools to install  
stuff in the right place.  We have the same problem over in Java land  
on this issue.
