"Not properly loaded" was the correct "wild guess" ;) I used Mercurial's "make install-home" target to isolate this installation from Debian's Mercurial package (which I removed anyway, but I like to have things cleanly separated ;). With this installation type the hg command didn't find its modules in $HOME/lib/python. Using the PYTHONPATH environment variable solved the problem. I successfully cloned the transcode-hist repository to my home workstation. So everything should be fine now.
