1742634 - detect Python 2 Mercurial in configwizard and recommend moving to Python 3

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Services :: Mercurial: configwizard, task)

Description

[Connor Sheehan [:sheehan]]

Mercurial 6.0 will be the final release that supports Py2 going forward. Hooray!

Once we have decided that all our users should be running Py3 Mercurial (ie once we've decided that Windows is ready) we should add a check to configwizard that detects Py2 and prints a simple message recommending moving to Py3, informing them we will be removing Py2 support in the future and compatibility is not guaranteed.

Adds a step to configwizard to detect if the interpreter running
Mercurial is Python 2. If it is, print a warning recommending upgrading
to Python 3.
