If you can get the info that you need from the client (like your example
above), I would definitely suggest using pysvn because its interfaces and
documentation are in much cleaner shape. [I have not used pysvn, even though
I have wanted to. But from the docs and form what I have read, it is much
easier to use than the bindings]

I have not found a good documentation resource for the SWIG bindings. You
could obviously read the C header files within the source distribution. But
it is quite complicated. Moreover, I learn faster using examples and so I
started off by looking at the two short examples in the book (
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch08s02.html) and also the
svnlook.pyfile in the distribution (in the tools/examples folder).
The subversion/bindings/swig/python/test folder also includes code from the
trac project. The code within it is a good primer on how to use the
bindings.
These examples do not replace documentation, but if you just want to
experiment with the usage of python bindings, these resources will help you
a lot.
