Answer 1

I solved this problem, the reason is that i have made a mistake. i just executed the following command, it is not in the instruction.

python setup.py install

the installation steps are (the Source is the dir name in pysvn directory):

cd Source
python setup.py configure
make
cd ../Tests
make
cd Source
mkdir [YOUR PYTHON LIBDIR]/site-packages/pysvn
cp pysvn/__init__.py [YOUR PYTHON LIBDIR]/site-packages/pysvn
cp pysvn/_pysvn*.so [YOUR PYTHON LIBDIR]/site-packages/pysvn
