Need a blank line before the * line, and to use the "* file\n (symbol)"
syntax --- 'test_checksum' is a symbol.

That's inappropriate; I haven't reviewed the patch yet. You might add
this field after I review it, not before.

This is wrong in two different ways:

- "32 or 40" is a constant expression that evaluates to 32.

- You hardcode two values, when you should be hardcoding neither of
  them. (The bindings shouldn't need to change if the C library grows
  a third svn_checksum_kind_t.)

This bare "raise" statement without arguments is itself an error.

See for yourself:

    % python -c 'raise'
    TypeError: exceptions must be old-style classes or derived from BaseException, not NoneType

This exception signifies a bug in your program. It has become
a RuntimeError in recent Pythons (and, frankly, could become
a compile-time error as well --- the compiler knows there's no except:
block surrounding this statement). It might work, but not because it's
correct.
