Subversion should be applying your svn:keywords to your *.py and
*.tex files. However, the Author and email keywords will not work.
And, there is no keyword called "email" so that's irrelevant. So it's
just the Author keyword that won't work. You need to specify it
without the quotes, like this:

*.py = svn:keywords=Author Date Revision Id
*.tex = svn:keywords=Author Date Revision Id

Otherwise Subversion thinks the quotes are part of the keyword name,
and then it can't find a keyword called: "Author

You will of course also need the line

enable-auto-props = yes

in your config file. I assume you have that already. Also, the auto-
props will only apply to new files you add to the repo, not any
existing files in the repo. (If you need the latter, there is a
script you can use.)

As to the ignore rules, they should work too, but if the to-be-
ignored files are already in the repo, they will stay there; they
will not be ignored. Also, if you do something like "svn add *" and
there are to-be-ignored files in the directory, Subversion will not
ignore them, because by saying "*" you have explicitly asked for all
files to be added, and Subversion does so.

If the above does not help, try showing us a set of commands you
issue (and their output) that demonstrate the problem you're seeing.
