I have Tortoise Hg installed on my Windows box, and have been using mercurial via the Tortoise GUI and also from the windows commandline. I installed hg-git as recommended on http://hg-git.github.com/ : Using easy_install hg-git
, which built the package with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008. There were no error messages and the build reported success.
I then added the extension to the configuration file. But TortoiseHg still doesn't accept git urls, and when I run hg from the commandline, I get:
*** failed to import extension hggit: No module named hggit
Now, python does know about hggit and will find it if I type import hggit
at the interpreter (it fails when hggit tries to import mercurial). I understand that TortoiseHg provides it own python environment, so my question is: How do I install hggit so that it is visible to the tortoise-distributed mercurial? Or am I misdiagnosing the problem?
