New submission from cnguyencasj <cnguyencasj at gmail.com>:

I followed the instructions here http://mercurial.berkwood.com/ to install
Mercurial on my MacBook Pro 10.4 but ran into the failure as captured in the
attached snapshot.

I first installed Python 2.5.x (the latest version) but when I checked by
'/usr/bin/python -V' on the command line , I got version 2.3.5.  So I manually
deleted the /usr/bin/python and created a new symlink of my new 2.5.1 in
/usr/bin directory like this:
ln -s / /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python .

Then 'python -V' now says:
Python 2.5.1

I then reran the Mercurial installer but kept getting the same error that
Mercurial requires Apple Python 2.5 to install.

I cannot do anything with Mercurial now.  Please help quickly.  Thanks.
