** Changed in: mercurial (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- Rebuild for/with Python 2.7
+ Hardcodes libdir (including "python2.6") in hg script

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: mercurial
  
  I've run into an issue where /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/io.py has been 
used by hg, because the /usr/bin/hg contains:
      libdir = '../lib/python2.6/dist-packages/'
  
- According to kiilerix in #mercurial on IRC, Mercurial should get rebuilt
- for/with Python 2.7.
+ This is a feature of mercurial's setup.py that doesn't combine well with
+ multiple supported python versions. When python-stats is installed (it
+ provides a module called io) this breaks mercurial.
