When I now look back at how mercurial was installed I see that the source
package contains both a setup.py and a Makefile. My standardized
installation does the following:

if [ -f Makefile ]; then make install; else true; fi && \
if [ -f makefile ]; then make install; else true; fi && \
if [ -f setup.py ]; then python setup.py install; else true; fi && \
true

So, in this case my guess is that both "python setup.py install" and "make
install" was run. With their default settings they probably did choose to
install in different directories.
