Hi All

Can anyone help me. I am trying to convert from Bazaar to Mercurial on a Windows 
XP machine. I have installed tortoisehg-1.1.8-hg-1.7.3-x86.msi. Following the 
advice on the wiki page http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ConvertExtension 
<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ConvertExtension> 
I downloaded and ran mercurial-1.7.3-1.win32-py2.6.exe. This seems to have 
installed a whole load of stuff into C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages. I then tried 
to convert a small local repository:-

C:\new_projects>hg convert -s bzr trunk
assuming destination trunk-hg
initializing destination trunk-hg repository
Bazaar modules could not be loaded
abort: trunk: missing or unsupported repository

C:\new_projects>bzr check
Checking working tree at 'C:/new_projects/trunk'.
Checking branch at 'file:///C:/new_projects/trunk/'.
Checking repository at 'file:///C:/new_projects/'.
checked repository file:///C:/new_projects/ format RepositoryFormat
2a()
      6 revisions
    114 file-ids
checked branch file:///C:/new_projects/trunk/ format Branch format
7

I assume the convert installed with Tortoise is not seeing the python modules. 
How do I make Tortoise see the python modules? Or do I need to run the python 
version of Hg, if so then how?

Sorry if this is a basic question, but I am completely new to Python, so I don't 
know how the install and run the python version of Hg.

If anyone could let me know, or better still add some more detailed instructions 
to the wiki, I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance.
