bumpversion crash when mercurial (hg) is not installed

[dankeder]

Description

Bumpversion crashes when Mercurial is not installed (there's no command hg in $PATH).

How to reproduce

» bumpversion

    raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg)

Expected behaviour

Bumpversion should continue with the next VCS backend. If no VCS is detected it should report this fact to the user.

Update: It only happens with python3. In python2, it works.

I encountered and fixed the same issue on my local system. See #204 for a fix.

BTW. I experienced this issue on Python 2.7 on Linux.

Since this repo seems to be no longer maintained; I submitted the same fix to the bump2version team over at https://github.com/c4urself/bump2version/. Prior to this I didn't realize a fork had occurred. Note that both are available as bumpversion on the CLI, so it's a drop-in replacement.

Hopefully this note saves someone else some time.
