Do not enclose your path in quotes; this will cause the module to fail to load. Just write your path exactly as: svn=*SomeFantasticFolder*/hgsubversion The hint should have been that the error message had the path in quotes, when the error generated does not quote the path, however I doubt anyone would notice that subtlely. Usually paths that contain spaces have to be quoted or escaped, so intuition would suggest quotes are necessary so I believe the instructions should make this point clear. And here it is:

Well, sir, what I really want is these thing to work out of the box; but in this world, that's too much to ask. So I have no choice but to debug my butt off and work on 3 hours sleep because I need this to work. Hours and hours spent; how do you think that makes me feel, especially to be taunted. But whatever, when and if I can find a solution I will post it here so that no-one ever again has to suffer like me. Ah, if only.

In that case, please refer to their wiki/mailing lists. It seems like you want to hack on mercurial/tortoisehg/hgsubversion.

Why, when it tries to initialize HgSubversion it fails to import svn is beyond me. It should be running in the context of the python shell defined for Mercurial but fails in the way I described. Seems that only 2 steps are required in theory since you don't need a stand-alone python any more than you do SVN, but since I'm a python hacker since before 1.5, I like having it around. I just wish I could start an interpreter in the Hg Context or at least have it print out more well defined debug and traceback messages.

I installed 1.1.3 (x86); I did not install a command line or any other version and I did manually set the path and this didn't work. So, could the issue be that the latest Hg removed the subversion bindings and this is why it works for you guys but not for me? Also, because I used clone, my HgSubversion is the latest as of 2 days ago (haven't pulled since download). Should I revert to an earlier version?

* svn command line interface is not bundled though

No, I did _not_ download python bindings. I also changed to a new PC recently (the last few months) and I only need TortoiseHg for Windows + hgsubversion clone + do some config.

You probobaly got those when they were, but now they're not, namely here: http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91 Oh, and haven’t already mentioned that you *can’t* install the python bindings in Mercurial *any more* because the Subversion folks have taken down the page where they used to make these available.

I still get that error. It's not a case of not following the instructions; this is a fresh PC; only bought it Sunday. The problem is everyone here has done some implicit step on a mature machine that I have not done because this machine is new. When Mercurial fires up python to run HgSubversion, it tries to import svn and this fails because it can not find that module. That is the issue.
