Unable to run hg due to "ImportError: No module named osutil"

Question

I'm getting the following error when trying to run any hg command.

I tried to uninstall & install again XCode and the dev-tools.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/hg", line 41, in <module>

osutil.so exist on /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mercurial.

Answer 1

osutil is part of mercurial. Go to the folder where you downloaded mercurial and run

make local

Make sure that it runs correctly and you should be good to go.
