Mercurial is a fairly boring piece of Python software. The one thing it
does that not all (but many!) Python packages do is include C
extensions. Those extensions have to be compiled with the same version
of Python that you're using, with similar compiler settings.

So if it's broken, one or more of the following are probably true:

- you've got old bits of Mercurial around from a previous install
- you're using the wrong compiler
- you're compiling against the wrong version of Python
- you've found a bug in the latest Python release

FYI, Python 2.7.8 and Mercurial 3.0.2 were released on the same day, so
we didn't test them together.
