I am not exactly sure what you mean by "binding the python". If you mean,
just building and installing the swig python bindings for subversion, yes,
you are right. The build for the python bindings will install a shared
library and also install the python modules. I believe the installation
instructions also has a step to update the default module search path
(PYTHONPATH, if you will) for the python installation so that it will also
search the newly installed python modules.
You can certainly build the swig python bindings after subversion is
compiled and installed. But if you want it to be installed along with the
subversion installation (presumably under /usr/local), then you will need
root access.
If you do not have root access, you can still download subversion source,
compile subversion and the python bindings and then install it to a
different location to which you have write permission. After that you can
update add that path to your PYTHONPATH and the python program should find
the module to import.
