Severity: important
Tags: patch

Out of the box, the Python bindings for Subversion are not compatible
with Python 2.7.  The reason is shallow but mysterious - some tests
fail when run against Python 2.7.  I have contacted upstream but have
not heard about any resolution, so attached is a patch that simply
disables the affected tests when run with Python 2.7.  I'll note that
Fedora did something similar (disabled the tests) but in a different
way since they did not need to support both Python 2.6 and 2.7 at the
same time.
