You're using an old version of the packaging bits that doesn't understand
this particular token.  Likely, you're using the bits that are installed on
your system, rather than the bits you just built.  You should set
PYTHONPATH to

    $(hg root)/proto/root_$(uname -p)/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages

(and, for good measure, run the executables out of the proto area, too),
before running the import.
