[Trac] Python pathing issue: Failed to initialize environment. No module named svn

[Emmanuel Blot]

It has been covered several times, for other Linux distros at least.

Anyway, you need to install the Python-toSubversion wrappers, which
are available from the SVN official web site, if they are not
available with your Linux distribution.

You can also build them from the Subversion sources, but you'll need
the SWIG library and some other dependencies.
