[issue12346] Python 2.7.2 source code build (release) depends on mercurial

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Indeed, I just confirmed that building with a recent version of mercurial installed from the release 2.7.2 source tarball from python.org, the make results in:

abort: repository . not found!
abort: repository . not found!
abort: repository . not found!

during the build of getbuildinfo.c.  Fortunately the only effect seems to be that sys._mercurial returns ('CPython, '', '') instead of the correct info.
