ok, i just built my first subversion server, did some testing and realized
that python2 IS required for the test cases to be portable ( i was testing
importability before for syntax compatiblity). i'm sincerely sorry for any
confusion i might have caused. the problem lies in that python1.5.2's popen2
call is unix only. on windows it doesn't exist.
send the patch to /dev/null
back to lurking
cheers
