I'd suggest parsing the command line output of Mercurial, as it's the  
officially sanctioned stable API for Mercurial. The Python API, while  
faster, provides no stability guarantees. That being said, the  
following will create a repository instance and access the context for  
a particular changeset:

>>> from mercurial import hg, ui
>>>
>>> repo = hg.repository(ui.ui(), 'path/to/repo')
>>> ctx = repo['tip']
>>> log = ctx.description()

The typical accessors for a changeset context are defined at <http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/file/7397a53219c9/mercurial/context.py#l97 
 >.

Please note that any use of the Python API means that the entire  
application is covered by the GPL.
