Description

I got a traceback when viewing a patch submited from a Mercurial repository on my debian etch machine.

This patch solve this issue.

Testing Done

Works home.

trunk/reviewboard/scmtools/hg.py (Diff revision 2)

How I'd rather see this done is to try to import quote from urllib2 and, if there's an ImportError, import it from urllib.

```
Version two.
```

trunk/reviewboard/scmtools/hg.py (Diff revision 3)

There might be a better way to check the availability of the command.

trunk/reviewboard/scmtools/hg.py (Diff revision 3)

This might be seen as dirty ... but has the advantage of solving it everywhere in one line.

The way I'd advise is:

try:
    from urllib2 import quote
except ImportError:
    from urllib import quote

But then you need to use "quote" instead of "urllib2.quote" everywhere, and you risk a name collision if something else is called quote.

Anyway, If you're happy with you version, feel free to push ...

Ship it!

Committed a modified version as r1521. Thanks!
