I take it that you meant "... if I _can_ work ...". Certainly you can!
Even if you don't feel like hacking the code, it'd be great if you can
help test out the new revs of TortoiseHg's dev tree.

Yes, I do :-)

It'd be nice if I can have a MacBook to work on ;-) Until then, I
really can't comment much on this topic. Though...

It seem to me that you just need to somehow make both Mercurial and
pygtk work off the same python revisions. I don't know anything about
macport, but any reasons you must use python 2.5 for
mercurial?

At least for the GUI (hgtk), I imagine it's not so different from
developing on the *nix system, or even Win32. Just edit the source and
then run them directly with python, or via hgproc.py or contrib/hgtk.

GUI is a big part of TortoiseHg.
