You could check out additional working copies as unversioned objects:
svn co (url)/trunk/env/Python
cd Python
svn co (url)/trunk/py/apt
cd apt
svn co (url)/site/(site-name)/config
You would have to update them seperately though:
cd c:\Python
svn up c:\Python c:\Python\apt c:\Python\apt\config
Or if there's a /trunk/env/Python/apt and /trunk/py/apt/config (either
empty or maybe with template data), you could use svn switch in there
to move it to a different URL in the same working copy.
svn co (url)/trunk/env/Python
cd Python\apt
svn switch (url)/trunk/py/apt
cd config
svn switch (url)/site/(site-name)/config
Then you can do commits and updates in one operation:
svn up c:\Python
