With the mac ports version of mercurial (wasn't I just complaining about another mac ports problems yesterday? ;-) ) the path to python in the mercurial launcher has is 
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python
Note the capital "P" which is what was running afoul of the hgforest.sh detection. The following patch uses a different technique for checking the python executable.

PS:- I assume that the make/scripts/hgforest.sh is going away at some point?

   echo Cannot find python from hg launcher. Running plain hg, which probably has buffered stdout.
