Someday I need to play with Hg. It looks interesting and I've heard only
good about it.

Correct! Do you want to build shared library extensions?

Your problem is related to http://bugs.python.org/issue586680. It could
be fixed in two ways. Either we move initstdio() after initsite()
(Python/pythonrun.c) or we add the ./build/lib.<platform>-<version> to
sys.path before we initialize the standard streams.
