            Bug ID: 4128
                CC: mercurial-devel at selenic.com

           Summary: add way to display "system" Mercurial info from the
                    command-line
          Severity: feature
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: chris.jerdonek at gmail.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 2.8
         Component: Mercurial
           Product: Mercurial

Currently, there does not seem to be a way to display from the command-line
certain basic information about the running Mercurial.  This includes:

1) information about the Python that Mercurial was compiled against, if any
   (e.g. the version of this Python)
2) information about the Python being used to run Mercurial (e.g. the
   version and path to this Python)

This issue is to provide a way to display this information from the
command-line.  This could be achieved by adding a new hg command (e.g. "hg
info" or "hg system"), by expanding the output of an existing command (e.g "hg
version"), or by changing the behavior of an existing command (e.g. by making
"hg version --verbose" display this information).

This would make troubleshooting certain types of installation issues easier
(e.g. issues like those encountered in bug 3388 and bug 4110).  Other
information could be added to this output over time if anything else is found
useful.
