The python bindings already exist for libsvn_fs, which is all we need.

ViewCVS already has fancy templates like this; read below...

Yes... cmpilato and I (well, mostly cmpilato) are about to start
working on ViewSVN in a statistically significant way sometime next
month. Greg Stein has already had discussions with us about how to
extend the ViewCVS codebase to work with svn (i.e. what parts of the
code can be shared, what parts can't.) That's also one of the reasons
gstein has been working so hard on getting the SWIG python bindings
for libsvn_fs working.
We've already joined the ViewCVS project on sourceforge and checked
out the code to start looking at it. You should do the same. I
suspect that we should all coordinate our design efforts... In short,
there's no need to reinvent wheels that already exist in ViewCVS. Our
plan is to simply extend ViewCVS to read svn repositories as well.
