Understanding PySvn – Where to start from?
In
need to understand what PySvn is all about (so to
compare it with Slik-Subversion I'm currently using), downloaded and
installed py27-pysvn-svn173-1.7.6-1457.exe and
pysvn-workbench-svn173-1.6.6-1460.exe, I haven't got a clue what to
do next.
Of
course I'm badly in need of some initial break-ice support. Could any
good soul be so kind to be of help?
Gratefully,
yours

Dear
Vishwajeet, Thanks
for your kind & quick answer.
>
better if you can tell what are you trying to do Well,
what I have got to do is simply to understand. Therefore, for
instance, you could describe me how you are possibly using PySvn
and/or WorkBench. I mean: not in detail, just in general terms. So to
offer me an idea how I could myself conveniently use and test it.
Thanks.See
you. -
P.M.

pysvn is alternative python binding for Subversion whereas slik svn is a
subversion client, people here can you help better if you can tell what are
you trying to do ??

Since at least 1.7, TortoiseSVN also packages the command line tools, so
you don't have to install them separately.
1. Install TSVN
2. Open a command prompt and type "svn --version" to check if the
commandline tools are properly installed.
3. Take a look at the online version of the SVN book. In its examples it
uses the commandline client.
After you went through the examples of the book you will have an
overview of how to use SVN. Doing that with the commandline or any other
client shouldn't be a problem then.
Concerning other clients, my experience is that there are many while
only a handful of them are actually in a state where you can use them.
When picking a client, there is always the chance that you picked one of
those that don't work properly, which can combine with your noobness to
a very frustrating experience.
My suggestion: Install TSVN and subscribe to its users' mailinglist for
further guidance.

I have never used it, so cannot say.

If you are on Windows you should install TortoiseSVN (and the command
line client). I am not saying that is the only client to use, but you
should install it. I do most work in Eclipse, so I use Subclipse but
I still use TortoiseSVN and the command line client too. The beauty
of SVN is that you can mix all these clients on the same code provided
they are all the same major.minor version.
If this Python Workbench looks like a nice client to you, then use
that too. I would try their mailing lists for help on getting it to
run.

See you.

By the way, among some books recently received, I've spotted one about TortoiseSVN 1.7. Could it be of help starting from such book?

There is no comparison.
SlikSVN is the Subversion command line binaries compiled for Windows.
There are many such distributions available, they are all identical
except for the packaging.
PySVN is a library that exposes the Subversion API as a Python API so
that you can write code that uses the Subversion API using Python.
The Python Workbench is a Python GUI client written by the author of
PySVN that uses PySVN to implement the calls to the SVN API.
You could compare the Python Workbench to other GUI SVN clients if you
wanted, such as TortoiseSVN.
