demandimport: ignore `lzma` module for demandimport This makes importing the module fail if the `_lzma` module is not present. This makes e.g. tarfile correctly recognize if LZMA support is not present. It changes the exception File "/usr/lib/python3.6/tarfile.py", line 1694, in xzopen fileobj = lzma.LZMAFile(fileobj or name, mode, preset=preset) AttributeError: module 'lzma' has no attribute 'LZMAFile' to the more correct exception File "/usr/lib/python3.6/tarfile.py", line 1692, in xzopen raise CompressionError("lzma module is not available") tarfile.CompressionError: lzma module is not available Also, it prevents that the error "abort: No module named '_lzma'!" is shown when a development warning is to be shown. The reason why that happened is that for showing the warning, we get information about the stack frames from the inspect module, which accesses the `__file__` attribute of all modules in `sys.modules` to build some cache, causing all modules (including `lzma`) to be imported.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
