Hi Andy,

Here's some examples, which are not very elaborate, but I use them
frequently (most of them you can get out of the programmer's guide).

I'm using Windows and I have a 'working copy' checked out into the
directory 'C:\dist'.

<examples>

import pysvn
client = pysvn.Client()

# Updates my working copy.
client.update(r'C:\dist')

# Maybe just get the revision number?
rev = client.info(r'C:\dist').revision.number
print rev

# Commit or checkin some changes.
client.checkin(r'C:\dist', 'A log message goes here')

# Do a checkout from a local repos. Note: if some_dir
# does not exist, it will be created. 'C:\svn\FilePrinter'
# is a repos of mine, substitute your own ;-)
client.checkout('file:///C:/svn/FilePrinter', r'C:\some_dir')

# Do a checkout from a remote repos.
client.checkout('http://svn.pybrary.net', r'C:\pyPDF')

And you can also fire up the interpreter and do things like:

>>> import pysvn
>>> pysvn.version # get the pysvn version
(1, 5, 0, 742)
>>> pysvn.svn_version # get your Subversion version
(1, 4, 0, '')
>>> help(pysvn.Client().checkout) # get some help on checkout

</examples>

There's also several pysvn mailing lists

http://pysvn.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList

and five (5) pages of hits from 'Google Code Search'...

HTH,

Bill
