web2py already uses mercurial if it is installed:

  
http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/trunk/applications/admin/controllers/mercurial.py

and I would love somebody to take the lead and improve that
controller.

You suggested making it required for installation of applications.
This is not possible because web2py has to be distributable in binary
form without dependencies and without Python pre-installed. The
mercurial license does not allow that.

It is also true that in general I do not like make web2py dependent on
third party packages, even when the license allows it. So far we only
depend on standard python libraries and I think it should stay that
way.
