[issue3305] cannot install 2.1.1 with pip

[Doug Hellmann]

New submission from Doug Hellmann <doug.hellmann at gmail.com>:

I just tried to install Mercurial using pip on OS X with Python 2.7.2 and got an 
error from setup.py:

$ pip install Mercurial
Downloading/unpacking Mercurial
  Downloading mercurial-2.1.1.tar.gz (3.3Mb): 3.3Mb downloaded
  Running setup.py egg_info for package Mercurial
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 14, in <module>
      File "/Users/dhellmann/Envs/fuzzy/build/Mercurial/setup.py", line 457, in 
<module>
        version = version.splitlines()[0]
    AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'splitlines'
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<string>", line 14, in <module>

  File "/Users/dhellmann/Envs/fuzzy/build/Mercurial/setup.py", line 457, in

    version = version.splitlines()[0]
