Of SWIG Python bindings and batons provided via void** arguments

Howdy, all.

I'm looking to use svn_ra_do_diff2() from the SWIG bindings, but I don't
see how to do it: Even in trunk, this method's docstring indicates that
it is just a direct passthrough to the C method:

{{{
def svn_ra_do_diff2(*args):
   """
     svn_ra_do_diff2(svn_ra_session_t session, svn_ra_reporter2_t reporter,
         void report_baton, svn_revnum_t revision,
         char diff_target, svn_boolean_t recurse, svn_boolean_t
ignore_ancestry,
         svn_boolean_t text_deltas,
         char versus_url, svn_delta_editor_t diff_editor,
         void diff_baton, apr_pool_t pool) -> svn_error_t
     """
   return apply(_ra.svn_ra_do_diff2, args)
}}}

At issue here is the report_baton: What Python object can I pass in this
spot (and then later use as a parameter to reporter->foo() methods)?
There is no native type corresponding to a void*, at least that I'm
aware of.

I'm interested only in copies, deletes and property changes -- not text
diffs -- so the client.* bindings (and higher-level tools provided by
pysvn) don't appear to be useful to me. I have code which does what I
want using an editor driven by repos.dir_delta() [patterned off the
useful example provided in svnlook.py]; my intent here is to add support
for working against a remote URL, but it's appearing so far to be
significantly more difficult than I've bargained for.

Any pointers as to approaches I've missed would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
