PyChess does not start

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I downloaded the source from the source browser, and tried to run it.
It shows the following:
ERROR: Could not import modules.
Please try to run pychess as stated in the INSTALL file

This also occurs when I use the latest source from the download page.

First installing with setup.py does not solve it, but adding the lib directory 
to $PYTHONPATH before running does.

Looking at lines 50-52 in pychess:

if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(this_dir, ".hg")) and \
        os.path.join(this_dir, "lib") not in sys.path:
    sys.path = [os.path.join(this_dir, "lib")] + sys.path

No ".hg" dir exists and so the "lib" directory is not added to the path.
