Since I'm using python 2.7, when trying to use `hg qimport`, I got:
abort: could not import module _winreg!

python-update and rebuilding mercurial doesn't help. Updating to mercurial-1.5 fixes it.

The same problem with "hg serve".
Also, upgrade to mercurial-1.6.4 helped.

This is still an issue ? Current versions of mercurial work well with Python 2.7. I wonder, why dev-vcs/mercurial-1.4.1 is still in the repository ...

We're working on getting 1.7 stabilized soon.
