I just hit this problem again with a clean install of the mercurial
and python from sources (and my package tool .. but I don't think it's
the problem).

ratrace helped.

Ow, that hurt, did it not?

Basically, it found getpass, did not find termios, then went looking
for some MS VC runtime. Yuck.

The code (getpass.py):
# Bind the name getpass to the appropriate function
try:
    import termios
    # it's possible there is an incompatible termios from the
    # McMillan Installer, make sure we have a UNIX-compatible termios
    termios.tcgetattr, termios.tcsetattr
except (ImportError, AttributeError):
    try:
        import msvcrt
    except ImportError:
        try:
            from EasyDialogs import AskPassword
        except ImportError:
            getpass = default_getpass
        else:
            getpass = AskPassword
    else:
        getpass = win_getpass
else:
    getpass = unix_getpass

Wow, that hurt too.

So, it's trying to get a password, as it is an https import, so it
pulls in getpass, which pulls in termios, and it's failing, and the
only reasonable thing to do when you can't find a unix package is to
try to use an MS VC runtime package and, when that fails, bail out
with one of the worst error messages one can imagine.

Wow, GRRoss.

Anyway, that is why you get that utterly useless error message:
because you're not unix. It just tells you that the error is that you
are not windows. Clear?
