The two options to fix this are:
1. Patch python-svn/Modules/posixmodule.c to take the keyword arguments.
2. Modify the PyDoc in posixmodule.c as Todd suggested.
I had attached a patch which solves the issue using solution '2'.
Also I observed that os.makedirs() have no such issue even though it uses os.mkdir() because it uses 'mkdir(name, mode)' to call mkdir.
