Arch Linux User Repository

just a quick note,
updated my vm at work some minutes ago,
installed mercurial,tortoisehg and python-mercurial
at least the mq shows up in the panel,
but still it does not work
e.g.
executed finish patch result in output of

*** failed to import extension tortoisehg.util.hgcommands: No module named tortoisehg.util.hgcommands
*** failed to import extension tortoisehg.util.partialcommit: No module named tortoisehg.util.partialcommit
*** failed to import extension tortoisehg.util.pipeui: No module named tortoisehg.util.pipeui
*** failed to import extension tortoisehg.util.hgdispatch: No module named tortoisehg.util.hgdispatch

plus a window pops up with...

so, again, is there no way to provide a stable python2 based tortoisehg until at least the basic features are working? As I read last friday, the python2 based mercurial is still the official stable release...

Done :-) Hopefully Arch will use python3 für Mercurial 5.3.

On another note, how about a bump to require hg 5.3 and use tortoisehg commit 7501a5202ac7 (latest in stable branch as of now)?

I've found myself needing both mercurial with Python 2 and mercurial with Python 3 for different things (py3: tortoisehg, py2: hg-fast-export) at the moment, so I've made another AUR package: python-mercurial.

This one provides just the Python 3 modules, so is usable by tortoisehg. It does not conflict with mercurial - so I have the regular Python 2-based mercurial package from the repos installed as well. So both Python 2 and Python 3 can import mercurial, and the hg command is using Python 2.

Once the repos move to Python 3 for mercurial, if I still need the Python 2 mercurial module I'll make a python2-mercurial that provides the python2 modules only.

@schnedan this might be of interest to you since you can have hg use Python 2 whilst tortoisehg still works using Python 3.

@Orekaria you should report bugs with thg itself upstream:

https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issues

Any plan to fix the owesome patch queue feature?
bugs e.g:
1. Patch queue does not activate
2. When using the 'Unnapply patch' context menu option:

No worries! I've updated mercurial-python3 to hg 5.2.2, and posted to aur-requests asking them to disregard the deletion request.

Thx,... and sorry for being of no help this afternoon.

@schnedan I just updated my Arch install and am now experiencing the same issue!

I realised that what's happened is that mercurial in the repos has reverted to Python 2. So mercurial-python3 will continue to be needed for the moment, I will work out how to undelete/recreate it and will update it to 5.2.2.

Yes, something is messed up with your Python or mercurial since tortoisehg's setup can't import mercurial. So you should investigate them. What do you get if you do the following (my output shown below, if yours is different, something might be wrong)?

$ pacman -Q mercurial
mercurial 5.2.2-1
$ python --version
Python 3.8.1
$ type python
