Hi Peter,
For testing purposes, I've compiled a prerelease version of the
Subversion bindings for Python 2.4 on Windows. On my machine, these
bindings pass the Subversion test suite.
Download it at:
http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~james/svn-python/
Hope this helps!
David

Why does a user of the client API need iconv at all? Isn't the
interface UTF-8 or bytes everywhere?
Where does the client API need to use char set conversion?

Feel free to provide such a binary package. I'm not stopping anyone, but
I won't do it myself. I've got enough other stuff on my plate.
Just don't forget that you have to build and statically link with all of
APR, too -- especially apr-iconv -- and that's likely to be a bigger
problem than anyone wants to deal with.

Can we switch to Microsoft Visual Studio.NET for just the Python 2.4 bindings?
If we compile the Python bindings statically, and install all neededDLL files into the Python library directory, we don't need to worryabout binary compatibility. For an example of this technique inaction, see http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~james/svn-python/
Cheers,
David

Maybe I have to explain, again, why the officially unofficial Windows
binary distro of Subversion only comes with Python 2.3 bindings. It's a
matter of compatibility. The Subversion binaries must work with the
Apache 2.0.x binaries, which are compiled with MSVC 6. Because of
runtime compatibility issues, Subversion must therefore also be compiled
with MSVC 6. Python 2.3 is the last version where the binaries available
from python.org are compiled with MSVC 6. Python 2.4 uses a newer
version of the compiler, and depends on a newer version of the C runtime
library, which is incompatible with Subversion's.
I'm told Apache 2.2.x will move to this newer compiler. When that
happens, Subversion can also switch, and we can create Python 2.4
binings by default. I don't know where that leaves us with Perl, though.

Hi David,
Thanks for creating the bindings. I'll give them a try.

Maybe I have to explain, again, why the officially unofficial Windows
binary distro of Subversion only comes with Python 2.3 bindings. It's a
matter of compatibility. The Subversion binaries must work with the
Apache 2.0.x binaries, which are compiled with MSVC 6. Because of
runtime compatibility issues, Subversion must therefore also be compiled
with MSVC 6. Python 2.3 is the last version where the binaries available
from python.org are compiled with MSVC 6. Python 2.4 uses a newer
version of the compiler, and depends on a newer version of the C runtime
library, which is incompatible with Subversion's.
I'm told Apache 2.2.x will move to this newer compiler. When that
happens, Subversion can also switch, and we can create Python 2.4
binings by default. I don't know where that leaves us with Perl, though.

David,
Thanks for doing this because this is an often requested item. Might I
suggest that you also put instructions on your page with the steps you
followed to compile them? Then other people can compile them if they wish
and there won't be a dependency on one person maintaining this.
Regards,
Clint
