Hi Louis,
Thanks again for your help, I apprecaite it. Unfortunately, I am still
not having much luck with the Mercurial hook. Now, here is the error I
see from the hg push -v --debug (from Mercurial's debug output):
loading changegroup.buildbot hook failed:
abort: cannot import name newbytes!
Now, I looked at the hgbuildbot.py code and I didn't see any mention of
newbytes. I tried doing research about the Python newbytes, but the only
relevant site I could find was about the future.utils module:
http://python-future.org/_modules/future/utils.html
And I tried importing the future.utils. Also, I tried doing a:
from future.types import newbytes
But, none of them fixed the error.
Do you have any other ideas or advice for me?
Regards,
Alvaro
