help needed for bug #382252: ImportError: No module named bdiff

[Vincent Danjean <vdanjean.ml@free.fr>]

  Hi,

  Can someone that know how python loads binary modules
look at the bug #382252.
I cannot reproduce it on my system but two different users report it.
It seems that under some circumstances/environment python2.4 does not
load one binary module whereas python2.3 load it (and both binary
modules are present in the system).

  If you do not know mercurial, you can try to reproduce the bug by
1) installing the package
2) typing something like:
vdanjean@cayuga:~$ cd /tmp
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp$ mkdir toto
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp$ cd toto/
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/toto$ hg init
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/toto$ hg diff
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/toto$ echo itpyt > titi
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/toto$ hg add titi
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/toto$ hg diff
diff -r 000000000000 titi

  I do not know what to search to resolve this bug. Switching to
python2.3 for mercurial can be a workaround, but this would not be
a real fix.

  Best regards,
    Vincent
