Seems like this is indicating that I need to get the source from a
Mercurial repo to be able to built it.

Jeff,
I've just tried to reproduce by downloading the .tgz and running "build
-e" from within PCBuild. It successfully builds a python.exe inside the
win32/ folder. That project pre-build step (the one which calls hg id)
is set to continue on failure so you might see a warning (with a
somewhat scary "abort" prefix), but the build should still complete.
Are you seeing a completed build? Or is it failing altogether?
