Of course one good aspect of all the open DVCS's is a strong desire to
keep them interoperable as far as import/export operations go. I
already track a number of SVN projects in git and I suspect people
that prefer git can still do day to day work on Python with it without
touching Hg if they don't want to.

Yes, they are generally interoperable.
Except, as far as I know, Mercurial keeps some metadata versioned as well, which makes building a bidirectional git <-> Hg gateway difficult, as the SHA1 hashes don't quite match up, and can't easily be rebuilt.
How is Git's Mercurial to Git?

A Hg <--> git gateway is a must if they are going to use mercurial, IMHO...
