I do not have such module installed on my system, and mercurial seems to
work (but I have a bug with the network)
I do not use python myself, so I just installed python-dev and
"compiled" mercurial. The other python stuff I have on my system is what
is required by other programs. So there could be non-free dependency,
but I do not see them for now.
