Subversion Cover Library for Python

Subversion documentation provides an example of using Subversion from Python

#!/usr/bin/python import svn.fs, svn.core, svn.repos def crawl_filesystem_dir(root, directory): """Recursively crawl DIRECTORY under ROOT in the filesystem, and return a list of all the paths at or below DIRECTORY.""" # Get the directory entries for DIRECTORY. entries = svn.fs.svn_fs_dir_entries(root, directory)

When I run this code, I get an import error:

 $ python crawl.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "crawl.py", line 7, in <module> import svn.fs, svn.core, svn.repos ImportError: No module named svn.fs

This means that I am missing the svn library. I tried installing the package, but Python Package Manager could not find it.

 $ pip install svn Downloading/unpacking svn Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement svn No distributions at all found for svn

So how do I install this library?

The library referenced by this documentation is SWIG-based wrappers that are built and shipped with Subversion. So - if your package is a subversion operating system package, find the subversion-python package to send along with it. If you are creating subversion from source, you need to use the --with-python configure option for the bindings that will be created side by side.

An alternative (with a completely different API) is the third-party pysvn shell . They are better documented and easier to use, but also less efficient in terms of runtime performance (they do not realize all the reuse capabilities of connections and such undocumented “official” bindings).

You need to install subversion-python in order to be able to import classes.

In my case (Fedora)

 sudo yum install subversion-python

Apt-get should have more or less the same
