When you use the chooser dialog, you can only select *.py files, so
you cannot see the "hg" file. But it's there. You can see it in the
project explorer. To work around this, you just select any *.py file,
for instance mercurial/dispatch.py. When you have selected it, it will
be listed in the "Main Module" text field:

  ${workspace_loc:my-proj/mercurial/dispatch.py}

Now you change this manually - by typing directly into the "Main
Module" field - to:

  ${workspace_loc:my-proj/hg}

Well, you need to choose the working dir where the repository with
which you want to test hg is (unless you use one of the --cwd or
--repo options).
