I dumped into the same question a couple of months ago, as I needed to
write some pre/post commit script, and I wanted to write them in
Python language. I looked at some examples of use of the SVN/SWIG API
for Python, and it did not take long (about half an hour or so) to
understand how parameters are passed, and how output parameters are
retrieved. It's a mechanical transformation that is not difficult to
follow, once you read a couple of examples.

The only things I did not find in the wrappers are some constants. The
rest of the Python API is pretty straightforward to guess from the C
API, from my perspective.

As already written in this thread, if you do not like the C-to-Python
translation made with the help of SWIG, you probably want to have a
look at the pysvn project.
