I need the python bindings in order to run the Trac system. When I went
to install the python bindings for svn 1.5.1, there was an executable
that I found (from a link at the Trac site, searching at tigris doesn't
work very well) at this page:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91
That executable did whatever it needed to do, correctly; I didn't have
to futz with this to make things work.
That page now has an executable for the 1.5.3 bindings, but only a ZIP
file for the 1.5.4 bindings, which is what I want. I extracted the
ZIP's svn and libsvn folders into the site-packages folder, and tried
restarting Trac -- which reported "Can't synchronize with the
repository." I found the hint above, renamed the DLLs, restarted Trac,
same error.
The 1.5.1 installer had placed the DLLs with names mapping to the Python
file names (_client, _core, _delta, _fs, _ra, _repos, _wc) all named as
PYDs. libsvn_swig_py-1.dll was left as a DLL.
In addition, several other DLLs were placed in the libsvn folder which
aren't included in the 1.5.4 ZIP file, presumably because they're
Subversion DLLs that were copied by the earlier installer. With svn
1.5.4, the names of these DLLs have largely changed to get a "-1"
suffix, but I copied them over anyway, having no other idea how to
proceed. The one DLL from the 1.5.1 installation that doesn't appear in
either the bindings ZIP or in the Subversion binaries is "intl3_svn.dll"
but the ZIP file points to a version (0.14.1.1519) on tigris which
apparently hasn't changed for a while.
So now my 1.5.4 libsvn folder has the same basic contents as the 1.5.1
version created by the installer, and I still can't get Trac to run.
When I try the import svn.repos statement that Miha described in
his original message, I get essentially the same error: specified module
could not be found.
Is there some reason why the Subversion project is posting the .ZIP
instead of the installer .EXE that worked so nicely?
