You need to install "bzrlib" in C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages. I don't
know how to do that, but bazaar might have something similar to
mercurial-1.7.3-1.win32-py2.6.exe - otherwise you will have to install
bazaar from source.

Yes, use your python Mercurial for converting. The simple way to avoid
using the one from TortoiseHg is to uninstall it, but there shouldn't be
any problems if you are careful with your PATH and verify twice that you
really are running what you think you are running. Once the repo is
converted it will be an ordinary Mercurial repository where TortoiseHg
works just fine.
