New ctypes Python API?
I had in mind I'd seen news of new Python bindings based on ctypes.
Shouldn't such bindings be somewhat independant of the version of Python?
To me:
> Pure python and cross-platform
suggested a normal Python package, but the downloads have system
specific ones still.
Is svn-win32-1.6.0_py.zip actually the new bindings?

Since they are bindings to dynamic libraries, they are not really "pure" Python unfortunately, and will have a strong dependency on the OS (and possibly SVN version).
By using some workarounds I could build them on Linux but on Windows it seems to be quite difficult, thanks to the Apache libraries mostly (apr and apr-util are in pretty bad shape).
I'd be glad to hear from anyone who succeeded!

No, sorry.

Any idea where the new bindings are though?

No, those are the swig based bindings. I'm not familiar with the ctypes
bindings, but I was under the impression that since they are pure python
there was no need to compile anything special per platform...as I said,
though, I'm not familiar with them and that is just an assumption from the
little reading on them I've done.
