Aeh? As far as I know it is the other way around recent versions of hg
do not support 2.7 any more.

Tortoise has a GUI interface that might be useful, however it is a bit
overloaded for my taste (that is why I either use the command line or
emacs).

Sourcetree at some point supported mercurial (not sure that is still
true since its author is bitbucket and they abounded mercurial last year
😱)

from what I have seen sourcetree might be easier for beginners.
