mercurial, leopard, python24 and openssl

[grimmwerks]

I've lost my setup because of a bad harddrive and trying to get my  
macbook back up and running. I _thought_ I installed everything  
properly but when trying to run mercurial now I get:

abort: Python support for SSL and HTTPS is not installed

But when I've tried to install py-openssl:
Skipping org.macports.activate (py-openssl ) since this port is  
already active
--->  Cleaning py-openssl

I _really_ need to get this up and running. Is Mercurial still  
dependant to python2.4?
