If libsvn_swig_py-1.so.0 requires symbol PyUnicode_FromFormat, it is built
without Py_USING_UNICODE in pyconfig.h, for Python 2.7. On the other hand,
if Python library has PyUnicodeUCS4_FromFormat, it is built with
Py_UNSING_UNICODE defined and Py_UNICODE_SIZE >= 4.

That is to say, that Python bindings modules are broken.

I think there are no workaround without building Python bindings from
source code, except to contact with the packager of that package.

Even if we use Subversion 1.14 LTS, we can't use Python 3 bindings
without modifying existing application programs, mainly str/bytes
distinction.
