Now I see.  I checked both pkgsrc (mercurial up-to-date) and FreeBSD ports (mercurial lagging behind and still requires Python 2.7).

From what I read on mercurial site, there may be slightly less than full functionality with Python 3.7, but the missing features were likely to be not important for normal use, may be restored in a later release.

I noticed "-scm.org" in the internet domain names for git, fossil and mercurial.
