 From the log, it looks like the issue is that the Crypto module is
importing winrandom, which is a Windows-only library. Normally, this
import would fail and the module would go onto an alternative.

I think hg tries to speed up its runtime by delaying Python imports
until the imported code is used. This breaks the behavior of some
modules, because they depend on imports of non-extant modules to fail
during import, not usage.
