I installed Mercurial on my Mac, and it's wonderful. For me it's easier to grasp than Git so I wanted to use it to manage git-repositories. Therefore I installed hg-git with the following instructions:

http://hg-git.github.com/

But each time I issue a hg command it returns this error message:

  Mercurial error *** failed to import extension hggit: No module named hggit

I'd might be important to note that I'm on a Mac not a Windows PC.

Does any know how to resolve this

[extensions]
hgext.bookmarks =
git =
