Mercurial

My friend has been trying to use Mercurial which is a version control system written in python. I'm using OSX and I already had python 2.4 installed. While some of the files seem to appear after doing an install of mercurial package, the executable itself never gets installed (and the installer never complains). I was mislead by the documentation and by spotlight. Doing a find I fould hg, a very simple script, in /usr/local/bin. I gave it a spin and it seems to work OK.

I still don't know why the world can't just learn from Apple that installation should be a matter of dragging a single folder into any directory you want. I wouldn't even care if it carried with it the 100mbs of a python as long as it would just work.
