What are the Python parameters and return values for these functions.

To say that there is documentation in the subversion/include directory is a
misnomer. I do see the subversion API documentation, but this does not tell
me the equivalent Python constructs to their C++ counterparts. I am a C++
programmer also but trying to figure out what Python expects as opposed to
C++ is a major headache. SWIG is very clever but impossible to understand.
