Thanks, I think this solution will work. import subprocess import getpass user = "XXX578" root="https://trac.nci.org.au/svn/cable"; repo_name = "CMIP6-MOSRS" pswd = "'" + getpass.getpass('Password:') + "'" cmd = "svn checkout %s/branches/Users/%s/%s --password %s" %\ (root, user, repo_name, pswd) error = subprocess.call(cmd, shell=True) if error is 1: raise("Error checking out repo") -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
