parsers: fail fast if Python has wrong minor version (issue4110)...
parsers: fail fast if Python has wrong minor version (issue4110) This change causes an informative ImportError to be raised when importing the parsers extension module if the minor version of the currently-running Python interpreter doesn't match that of the Python used when compiling the extension module. This change also exposes a parsers.versionerrortext constant in the C implementation of the module. Its presence can be used to determine whether this behavior is present in a version of the module. The value of the constant is the leading text of the ImportError raised and is set to "Python minor version mismatch". Here is an example of what the new error looks like: Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 1, in <module> import mercurial.parsers ImportError: Python minor version mismatch: The Mercurial extension modules were compiled with Python 2.7.6, but Mercurial is currently using Python with sys.hexversion=33883888: Python 2.5.6 (r256:88840, Nov 18 2012, 05:37:10) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.1 ((tags/Apple/clang-421.11.66))] at: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/ Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python The reason for raising an error in this scenario is that Python's C API is known not to be compatible from minor version to minor version, even if sys.api_version is the same. See for example this Python bug report about incompatibilities between 2.5 and 2.6+: http://bugs.python.org/issue8118 These incompatibilities can cause Mercurial to break in mysterious, unforeseen ways. For example, when Mercurial compiled with Python 2.7 was run with 2.5, the following crash occurred when running "hg status": http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4110 After this crash was fixed, running with Python 2.5 no longer crashes, but the following puzzling behavior still occurs: $ hg status ... File ".../mercurial/changelog.py", line 123, in __init__ revlog.revlog.__init__(self, opener, "00changelog.i") File ".../mercurial/revlog.py", line 251, in __init__ d = self._io.parseindex(i, self._inline) File ".../mercurial/revlog.py", line 158, in parseindex index, cache = parsers.parse_index2(data, inline) TypeError: data is not a string which can be reproduced more simply with: import mercurial.parsers as parsers parsers.parse_index2("", True) Both the crash and the TypeError occurred because the Python C API's PyString_Check() returns the wrong value when the C header files from Python 2.7 are run with Python 2.5. This is an example of an incompatibility of the sort mentioned in the Python bug report above. Failing fast with an informative error message results in a better user experience in cases like the above. The information in the ImportError also simplifies troubleshooting for those on Mercurial mailing lists, the bug tracker, etc. This patch only adds the version check to parsers.c, which is sufficient to affect command-line commands like "hg status" and "hg summary". An idea for a future improvement is to move the version-checking C code to a more central location, and have it run when importing all Mercurial extension modules and not just parsers.c.

Valid URLs are of the form::
local/filesystem/path[#revision]
file://local/filesystem/path[#revision]
http://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
https://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
ssh://[user@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
Paths in the local filesystem can either point to Mercurial
repositories or to bundle files (as created by :hg:`bundle` or
:hg:`incoming --bundle`). See also :hg:`help paths`.
An optional identifier after # indicates a particular branch, tag, or
changeset to use from the remote repository. See also :hg:`help
revisions`.
Some features, such as pushing to http:// and https:// URLs are only
possible if the feature is explicitly enabled on the remote Mercurial
server.
Note that the security of HTTPS URLs depends on proper configuration of
web.cacerts.
Some notes about using SSH with Mercurial:
- SSH requires an accessible shell account on the destination machine
and a copy of hg in the remote path or specified with as remotecmd.
- path is relative to the remote user's home directory by default. Use
an extra slash at the start of a path to specify an absolute path::
ssh://example.com//tmp/repository
- Mercurial doesn't use its own compression via SSH; the right thing
to do is to configure it in your ~/.ssh/config, e.g.::
Host *.mylocalnetwork.example.com
Compression no
Host *
Compression yes
Alternatively specify "ssh -C" as your ssh command in your
configuration file or with the --ssh command line option.
These URLs can all be stored in your configuration file with path
aliases under the [paths] section like so::
[paths]
alias1 = URL1
alias2 = URL2
...
You can then use the alias for any command that uses a URL (for
example :hg:`pull alias1` will be treated as :hg:`pull URL1`).
Two path aliases are special because they are used as defaults when
you do not provide the URL to a command:
default:
When you create a repository with hg clone, the clone command saves
the location of the source repository as the new repository's
'default' path. This is then used when you omit path from push- and
pull-like commands (including incoming and outgoing).
default-push:
The push command will look for a path named 'default-push', and
prefer it over 'default' if both are defined.
