Not for me on pip 9.0.1 it doesn't, at least using Windows path, e.g.
hg+file://d:\whatever\whatever\testpkg

Maybe hg+file://d:/whatever/whatever/testpkg would work?

It's a URL -- I think it should be / not \.

Yeah, the correct form is hg+file:///d:/whatever/whatever/testpkg. Note three initial slashes, and all forward slashes. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme#Windows

File URLs are a bit messy for Windows files...
