Oh for goodness' sake, please use an existing mailer script that already
does all of that. Don't reinvent the wheel. The mailer we have in the
Subversion repository shows the log message, what changed in the commit
and the complete diff; you could easily adapt it for your needs.
("revision it was last changed before this commit ... I'm not sure why
you need this info; you don't need it to generate the diff.)

Well here I can't help you other than to suggest that "mastering" a
language is not a prerequisite to customizing a script. Python isn't
that hard to understand.
Alternatively, you could investigate some existing freely (or not so
freely) available development tools that have all this integrated. I
won't post links to commercial offers on this list, but they're just one
search away.
