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:

Mercurial 0.7 is very old.  If you could retry with a newer version,
such as 0.9, that would be a big help.

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,
