PySVN is a tricky package to install, and is often problematic for most users. This installer simplifies this, making it easy to get PySVN up and running on most systems and within a Python virtual environment.
Please note that we do not maintain PySVN. We only maintain this installer.
PySVN requires Python development headers and Subversion development libraries. You can get these from your package packager, or through XCode on macOS. This is covered in more detail below.
To install:
$ curl https://pysvn.reviewboard.org | pythonThis will pull down our installer and build/install a Python Wheel for the latest version of PySVN.
If you need to install for a different version of Python, use the appropriate pythonX.Y binary.
This will vary based on your system.
For Ubuntu Linux (or other Debian-based systems):
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev
$ sudo apt-get build-dep python-svnOn RHEL/CentOS:
$ sudo yum install python-devel subversion-develOn macOS, we recommend installing Homebrew and then running:
$ xcode-select --install $ brew install subversion
(If these instructions are incomplete for your system, let us know.)
You can use this script to install a specific version of PySVN, to install from a downloaded PySVN source tarball, or to build a Python Wheel without installing.
You will need to download the installer and run it directly to use these arguments.
Here are your options:
--pysvn-version=<X.Y.Z>:The specific version of PySVN to download and install. Note that this is dependent on the version being hosted by the PySVN maintainers,
--file=<path>:The path to a downloaded PySVN source tarball to install. Useful if you're installing on multiple versions of Python and don't want to re-download each time.
--build-only:If specified, this will build a Python Wheel in the current directory, but won't install it. Note that Wheels for PySVN are fairly tied to the platform and environment they were built on.
