No, it is the "Remote Repository". It could be one at bitbucket.org or code.google.com, both of which support creating mercurial repositories. Or it could be a repository at hg.python.org and with a url like hg.python.org/sandbox/skip or hg.python.org/skip

You will have to 'push' your changes to those so that they are publicly visible and then point that url in the bug-tracker.

If so, I suspect that means I have to somehow make my repo globally visible and drill a hole in my NAT firewall.

You can do that or use one of existing facilities available for pushing your code to a public hg repository.

Senthil> And when you pressed "Create Patch" button, it created a patch Sorry, I don't see a "Create Patch" button anywhere. Are you referring to some sort of Mercurial GUI?

No, the same http://bugs.python.org/issue11591 You have to be logged into the tracker to see "Create Patch" under a section called "Repositories containing patches"
