looks like 5.4.1 have support python 3

TortoiseHg aims to be able to run on all the Python versions that are supported by Mercurial. See https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/SupportedPythonVersions.(https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/commits/)

What updates do you expect?
tortoisehg was not working when Ubuntu 20.04 was published, and it most probably will not be added any time later.

If you need it, you can try building it from source.

You are free to create a bug report that it is at least packaged for Ubuntu 20.10, and maybe that version can then easily be backported to Ubuntu 20.04.

You have to be aware that Ubuntu is copying packages from Debian (to avoid double packaging work), and it seems to me that Debian does not yet have a version that works with Python3. So the first step must be that Debian upgrade they package. To initiate this creating a related bug report in Debian's bug tracker may help.
