This is partly incorrect. Upcoming subversion 1.14.0 will still allow
to build SWIG python 2 binding. We are checking 'make check-swig-py'
both of with Python 2.7 and with Python 3.x.
However,
* subversion 1.14.0 release tarball will be shipped with SWIG generated
Python bindings source code only for Python 3. To build Python 2 bindings,
SWIG is needed.
* Python 2 bindings and Python 3 bindings is conflict to install,
because both of them requires mutual incompatible libsvn-swig_py-1.so
each other
Please see subversion/binding/swig/INSTALL in subversion source tree
for detail.
And these are not related support for SWIG Python bindings itself
directly, but better to know:
* Python application using Subversion SWIG Python bindings also need to
modify to support Python 3. Especially distinction between bytes and
str will be needed. All char * type in C API are mapped to bytes,
although it accept str for input.
* Support for Python 3 for scripts in tools/ subdirectory is very
poor status.
(See
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SVN/Subversion%27s+Python+3+Support+Status
for detail)
I, myself, use tools/hook-scripts/mailer/mailer.py for commit mail,
it doesn't work with Python 3. I also use ViewVC (devel/viewvc,
https://github.com/viewvc/viewvc) but its Python 3 support is
in progress.
