Thank you. You are right.
Please tell me if this text is better:

+<h4>Installed SWIG prevents building Subversion's Python 3 bindings
+ <a class="sectionlink" href="#issues-other-without-swig"
+ title="Link to this section">¶</a>
+</h4>
+
+<p>When building Subversion from a 1.14.0 distribution tarball, you may not be
+able to build Subversion's language bindings for Python 3 if
+<tt>configure</tt> detects an unsuitable version of SWIG on your system. This
+is a bug because the sources generated by SWIG for Python 3 bindings are
+included with the release.</p>
+
+<p>For this situation, a workaround is available as of 1.14.1: pass the
+<tt>--without-swig</tt> option to <tt>configure</tt>.</p>
+
+<p>See r1876662.</p>
+
+<p>The workaround does not apply in the following situations:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>building Subversion from sources checked out from the repository, where
+ the SWIG-generated files are not included</li>
+ <li>building Subversion's SWIG bindings for Python 2.x, in which case SWIG
+ is needed to regenerate the language bindings because the included ones
+ target Python 3</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>In these cases, you will need a suitable version of SWIG:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>To target Python 2: SWIG 2.0.0 through 3.x. (Note that
+ <tt>configure</tt> will allow SWIG 1.3.24 through 3.x, but SWIG 4.0.0 or
+ later are not supported for Python 2.)</li>
+ <li>To target Python 3: SWIG 3.0.10 or later.</li>
