py3: allow run-tests.py to run on Windows This is now functional: HGMODULEPOLICY=py py -3 run-tests.py --local test-help.t --pure --view bcompare However, on this machine without a C compiler, it tries to load cext anyway, and blows up. I haven't looked into why, other than to see that it does set the environment variable. When the test exits though, I see it can't find killdaemons.py, get-with-headers.py, etc. I have no idea why these changes are needed, given that it runs on Linux. But os.system() is insisting that it take a str, and subprocess.Popen() blows up without str: Errored test-help.t: Traceback (most recent call last): File "run-tests.py", line 810, in run self.runTest() File "run-tests.py", line 858, in runTest ret, out = self._run(env) File "run-tests.py", line 1268, in _run exitcode, output = self._runcommand(cmd, env) File "run-tests.py", line 1141, in _runcommand env=env) File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\subprocess.py", line 756, in __init__ restore_signals, start_new_session) File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\subprocess.py", line 1100, in _execute_child args = list2cmdline(args) File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\subprocess.py", line 511, in list2cmdline needquote = (" " in arg) or ("\t" in arg) or not arg TypeError: argument of type 'int' is not iterable This is exactly how it crashes when trying to spin up a pager too. I left one instance of os.system() unchanged in _installhg(), because it doesn't get there.

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
