It was in trying to get my Windows Dev environment back up and running again that got me frustrated and gave me an excuse to wander off doing other things... IIRC, there is a build issue with the Py2 bindings in that branch on Windows, but I never got far enough to check it out.

I'm sorry I missed the 1.13.x-branch deadline, but I finally got
around to playing with the swig-py3 branch on Windows.
Downloaded the latest Python release: 3.7.4. And using swig 3.0.12.
Of course I didn't reread INSTALL, so I first ran into:
[[[
WARNING: "C:\research\svn\dev\swig-py3\py3c\include\py3c.h" not found
Use "--with-py3c" to configure py3c location.
]]]
No problem, after downloading py3c from Github, and adding
--with-py3c, I can start building it.
However, I ran into the following error:
[[[
c:\python37\include\pytime.h(123): error C4115: 'timeval': named type
definition in parentheses
[C:\research\svn\dev\swig-py3\build\win32\vcnet-vcproj\libsvn_swig_py.vcxproj]
]]]
(PS: before firing up the swig-py3 branch, I double-checked that I
could successfully build the swig-python bindings on trunk with Python
2.7.16 and swig 3.0.12, and ran the swig-python tests successfully)
