pip install mercurial

ImportError: cannot import name 'msvccompiler' from 'distutils'
(...\overlay\Lib\site-packages\setuptools\_distutils\__init__.py). Did you
mean: '_msvccompiler'?



setup.py has incorrect import on line 1665, to fix it:

-    from distutils import msvccompiler
+    from distutils import _msvccompiler as msvccompiler
