Before I had this error with Ubuntu, I had the same error with SuSE,
too, where the default python version is also 2.4.
Here's the response I got from the mercurial developers:

When trying to use mercurial 0.7 on SuSE Linux 10.1, for example with

Mercurial 0.7 is very old. If you could retry with a newer version,
such as 0.9, that would be a big help.
I cant tell if the fault is probably on me because I do something
wrong, because from this message I cant identify anything i could do
different than I do.
When Mercurial prints a big traceback-style error message like that,
it's a sign that something very unexpected happened. So reporting the
error to the list is quite appropriate.
Thanks,
