The main difference is the location of the installation.  The former uses
the clone of the mercurial repository as the "active" installation, the
latter copies all relavent files to a folder in your python's site_packages
directory.

Can you share the error message you see under "setup.py develop"?  It's
very hard to diagnose what's going wrong without a specific error message
to look at.
