pysvn - Programmer's reference

This programmer's reference gives complete and detailed infomation on the pysvn API.

The pysvn Programmer's Guide gives an tutorial introduction to the pysvn module.

pysvn features and feature testing

This document covers pysvn version 1.6. Features offered by pysvn depend on the version of SVN that is being used. Full functionality is only available with SVN 1.6.0 or later.

Click one of the buttons below to show the pysvn API as supported by a particular version of the SVN.

Hilite unsupported  Hide unsupported

Showing the PySVN API supported by SVN 1.5.0. Unsupported parts of the API are show like: This.

The recommended way to test for a feature is to use the python hasattr() builtin. Working out what is and is not support from the version number information is quite complex and unnessesary. For example to test for lock and unlock support:

client = pysvn.Client()
if hasattr( client, 'lock' ):
    # use lock

pysvn module

The pysvn module has the following variables:

• pysvn.copyright - the pysvn copyright string
• pysvn.version - the pysvn version as a tuple, (major, minor, patch, build)
• pysvn.svn_version - subversion version as a tuple (major, minor, micro, tag)

The pysvn module has six classes:

• Client - the subversion client interface
• Transaction - the subversion transaction interface
• Revision - subversion revision objects
• ClientError - Exception class raised by client commands on error
• PysvnStatus - subversion status object
• PysvnEntry - subversion entry object

The following enumerations are provided:

• opt_revision_kind - kinds of Revision object
• wc_notify_action - see Client.callback_notify
• wc_status_kind - see Client.status()
• wc_schedule - see Client.status()
• wc_merge_outcome - see Client.Merge()
• wc_notify_state - see Client.callback_notify
• node_kind - see Client.status() and Client.ls()
• depth - replacement for recurse

Use python builtin dir() to list all available values in an enumeration:

    print dir( pysvn.wc_notify_action )

pysvn.Client - Subversion client interface

Interface summary:

client = pysvn.Client()
client = pysvn.Client( config_dir )

The default subversion configuration directory is used if the config_dir is omitted or set to ''.

The configuration directory is automatically created if it is missing.

A Client object can only be used on one thread at a time. If two threads attempt to call methods of Client at the same time one of the threads will get a pysvn.ClientError exception with the value 'client in use on another thread'.

Variables

Callbacks

Methods

Client variables

exception_style allows you to control the style of exception raised by pysvn.

commit_info_style allows you to control the style of commit_info returned by pysvn.

pysvn.Client.exception_style

exception_style is used to control how pysvn raises ClientError exceptions.

The default value, 0, makes pysvn raise exceptions as it did prior to pysvn 1.1.2.

exception_style can be set to 0 or 1, see ClientError for details of effect of the style on the exception raised.

pysvn.Client.commit_info_style

commit_info_style is used to control how pysvn return commit information.

commit_info_style can be set to 0 or 1. The default value, 0, makes pysvn return only the commit revision.

When set to 1 pysvn returns a dictionary of commit information including date, author, revision and post_commit_err.

Client callbacks

pysvn uses callback functions to allow for realtime feedback and credential handling.

callback_cancel allows you to cancel a long running subversion command.

callback_notify gives feedback as commands runs.

callback_get_log_message is called when a log message is required.

callback_get_login is called to get a username and password to access a repository.

callback_ssl_server_trust_prompt is called when using HTTPS to a server whoes certificate needs is trust verifing.

It is possible to use the Client object without setting up any calls backs. Make sure that all nessesary usernames, passwords and SSL certificate information are stored in the subversion configuration directory.

pysvn.Client.callback_cancel

import pysvn

cancel_command = False
def cancel():
    return cancel_command

client = pysvn.Client()
client.callback_cancel = cancel

The callback_cancel function is called frequently during long running commands. Return True to cause the command to cancel, return False to allow the command to continue.

pysvn.Client.callback_get_log_message

import pysvn

log_message = "reason for change"
def get_log_message():
    return rc, log_message

client = pysvn.Client()
client.callback_get_log_message = get_log_message

The callback_get_log_message is called when a log message is required to complete the current command. Return the True in rc and a log message as a string. Returning False in rc will cause the command to be cancelled. An empty log_message is not allowed and may cause the command to be cancelled.

Unicode strings cannot be handled. If you have a unicode string, convert it to UTF-8.

pysvn.Client.callback_get_login

import pysvn

def get_login( realm, username, may_save ):
    return retcode, username, password, save

client = pysvn.Client()
client.callback_get_login = get_login

callback_get_login is called each time subversion needs a username and password in the realm to access a repository and has no cached credentials.

The may_save parameter is true if subversion is willing to save the answers returned by the callback_get_login function.

pysvn expect the callback_get_login to return a tuple of four values (retcode, username, password, save).

• retcode - boolean, False if no username and password are available. True if subversion is to use the username and password.
• username - string, the username to use
• password - string, the password to use
• save - boolean, return True if you want subversion to remember the username and password in the configuration directory. return False to prevent saving the username and password.

pysvn.Client.callback_notify

import pysvn

def notify( event_dict ):
    return

client = pysvn.Client()
client.callback_notify = notify

The callback_notify is called as a command runs each time an interesting event occurs. The details of the event are passed to the callback_notify function as a dictionary.

The dictionary contains the following values:

• path - the path of the action refers to
• action - the events action, one of the wc_notify_action values
• kind - the node kind, one of the pysvn.node_kind values
• mime_type - the mime type
• content_state - one of the pysvn.wc_notify_state values
• prop_state - one of the pysvn.wc_notify_state values
• revision - a Revision object

pysvn.Client.callback_ssl_client_cert_password_prompt

import pysvn

def ssl_client_cert_password_prompt( realm, may_save ):
    return retcode, password, save

client = pysvn.Client()
client.callback_ssl_client_cert_password_prompt = ssl_client_cert_password_prompt

callback_ssl_client_cert_password_prompt is called each time subversion needs a password in the realm to use a client certificate and has no cached credentials.

The may_save parameter is true if subversion is willing to save the answers returned by the callback_ssl_client_cert_password_prompt function.

pysvn expect the callback_ssl_client_cert_password_prompt to return a tuple of three values (retcode, password, save).

• retcode - boolean, False if no password is available. True if subversion is to use password.
• password - string, the password to use
• save - boolean, return True if you want subversion to remember the password in the configuration directory. return False to prevent saving the password.

pysvn.Client.callback_ssl_client_cert_prompt

import pysvn

def ssl_client_cert_prompt( realm, may_save ):
    return retcode, certfile, may_save

client = pysvn.Client()
client.callback_ssl_client_cert_prompt = ssl_client_cert_prompt

callback_ssl_client_cert_prompt is called each time subversion needs a client certificate.

pysvn expect the callback_ssl_client_cert_prompt to return a tuple of three values (retcode, certfile, may_save).

• retcode - boolean, False if no certificate is available. True if subversion is to use the certificate.
• certfile - string, the certfile to use

pysvn.Client.callback_ssl_server_prompt

import pysvn

def ssl_server_prompt( ):
    return 

client = pysvn.Client()
client.callback_ssl_server_prompt = ssl_server_prompt

NOT IMPLEMENTED - what it used for?

pysvn.Client.callback_ssl_server_trust_prompt

import pysvn

def ssl_server_trust_prompt( trust_dict ):
    return retcode, accepted_failures, save

client = pysvn.Client()
client.callback_ssl_server_trust_prompt = ssl_server_trust_prompt

The callback_ssl_server_trust_prompt is called each time an HTTPS server presents a certificate and subversion is not sure if it should be trusted. callback_ssl_server_trust_prompt is called with information about the certificate in trust dict.

• failures - int - a bitmask of failures - [What do these bits mean?]
• hostname - string - the hostname the certificate was presented from
• finger_print - string - certificate finger print
• valid_from - string - valid from this ISO8601 date
• valid_until - string - valid util this ISO8601 date
• issuer_dname - stirng - the issued dname
• realm - string - the realm

pysvn expect the callback_ssl_server_trust_prompt to return a tuple of three values (retcode, accepted_failures, save).

• retcode - boolean, False if no username and password are available. True if subversion is to use the username and password.
• accepted_failures - int, the accepted failures allowed
• save - boolean, return True if you want subversion to remember the certificate in the configuration directory. return False to prevent saving the certificate.

pysvn.Client.add_to_changelist

add_to_changelist( path,
                   changelist,
                   depth=QQQ,
                   changelists=[] )

TBD

depth is one of the pysvn.depth enums.

pysvn.Client.add

add( path,
     recurse=True,
     force=False,
     ignore=False,
     depth=None )
add( [path,path],
     recurse=True,
     force=False,
     ignore=True,
     depth=None )

Schedules all the files or directories specfied in the paths for addition to the repository. Set recurse to True to recursively add a directory's children. Set force to True to force operation to run. Set ignore to False to disregard default and svn:ignore property ignores. Files are added at the next checkin.

The depth can be used as in place of recurse. depth is one of the pysvn.depth enums.

pysvn.Client.annotate

file_annotation = \
annotate( url_or_path,
          revision_start=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.number, 0 ),
          revision_end=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.head ),
          peg_revision=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.unspecified ) )
 )

Return the annotation for each line in the url_or_path from revision_start to revision_end.

peg_revision indicates in which revision url_or_path is valid. If peg_revision.kind is opt_revision_kind.unspecified, then it defaults to opt_revision_kind.head for URLs or opt_revision_kind.working for WC targets.

The file_annotation is a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary contains:

• author - string - the name of the author who last wrote the line
• date - string - the date of the last change to the line
• line - string - the text of the line
• number - int - the line number
• revision - pysvn.Revision - the revision that committed the line

pysvn.Client.cat

file_text = \
cat( url_or_path,
     revision=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.head ),
     peg_revision=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.unspecified ) )

Return the contents of url_or_path for the specified revision as a string, file_text.

peg_revision indicates in which revision url_or_path is valid. If peg_revision.kind is opt_revision_kind.unspecified, then it defaults to opt_revision_kind.head for URLs or opt_revision_kind.working for WC targets.

pysvn.Client.checkin

revision = \
checkin( path,
        log_message,
        recurse=True,
        keep_locks=False,
        depth,
        keep_changelist,
        changelists,
        revprops )
revision = \
checkin( [path,path],
        log_message,
        recurse=True,
        keep_locks=False,
        depth,
        keep_changelist,
        changelists,
        revprops )

checkin the files in the path_list to the repository with the specifed log_message. Set recurse to True to recursively checkin a directory's children with the same log message. Set keep_locks to True to prevent locks in the path being unlocked.

checkin returns a pysvn.Revision containing the number of the checked in revision.

depth, keep_changelist, changelists, revprops TBD

pysvn.Client.checkout

revision = \
checkout( url,
          path,
          recurse=True,
          revision=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.head ),
          peg_revision=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.unspecified ),
          ignore_externals=False )

checkout the repository at url into the location specified by path. Set recurse to True to recursively check out a directory's children. Specify a revision to check out a particular version of the source tree. Set ignore_externals to True to ignore externals definitions.

peg_revision indicates in which revision url is valid. If peg_revision.kind is opt_revision_kind.unspecified, then it defaults to opt_revision_kind.head for URLs or opt_revision_kind.working for WC targets.

checkout returns a pysvn.Revision containing the number of the checked out revision.

Note: Subversion seems to return 0 rather then the actual revision. Use a notify callback and record the revision reported for thepysvn.wc_notify_action.update_completed event. This is what the svn command does.

pysvn.Client.cleanup

cleanup( path )

Clean up any locks in the working copy at path. Usually such locks are the result of a failed or interrupted operation.

pysvn.Client.copy

copy( src_url_or_path,
      dest_url_or_path,
      src_revision=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.head ))

Duplicate something in working copy or repos, remembering history. The src_revision defaults to pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.head ) if the src_path is a URL otherwise to pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.working ).

src_url_or_path and dest_url_or_path can each be either a working copy (WC) path or URL:

• WC -> WC: copy and schedule for addition (with history)
• WC -> URL: immediately commit a copy of WC to URL
• URL -> WC: check out URL into WC, schedule for addition
• URL -> URL: complete server-side copy; used to branch and tag

If the destination is a URL the client_get_log_message callback must be implemented to return a log message.

pysvn.Client.copy2

copy2( sources,
       dest_url_or_path,
       copy_as_child=False,
       make_parents=False,
       revprops,
       ignore_externals=False )

Duplicate something in working copy or repos, remembering history. The src_revision defaults to pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.head ) if the src_path is a URL otherwise to pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.working ).

sources is a list of tuples of (url_or_path, rev), you can ommit rev by passing (url_or_path,). TBD better docs here.

revprops TBD

set ignore_externals to True to ignore externals.

src_url_or_path and dest_url_or_path can each be either a working copy (WC) path or URL:

• WC -> WC: copy and schedule for addition (with history)
• WC -> URL: immediately commit a copy of WC to URL
• URL -> WC: check out URL into WC, schedule for addition
• URL -> URL: complete server-side copy; used to branch and tag

If the destination is a URL the client_get_log_message callback must be implemented to return a log message.

pysvn.Client.diff

diff_text = \
diff( tmp_path,
      url_or_path,
      revision1=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.base ),
      url_or_path2=url_or_path,
      revision2=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.working ),
      recurse=True,
      ignore_ancestry=False,
      diff_deleted=True,
      ignore_content_type=False,
      header_encoding="",
      diff_options=[],
      depth=depth,,
      relative_to_dir=None,
      changelists=None )

Return the differences between revision1 of url_or_path and revision2 of url_or_path2. diff_text is a string containing the diff output.

diff uses tmp_path to form the filename when creating any temporary files needed. The names are formed using tmp_path + unique_string + ".tmp". For example tmp_path=/tmp/diff_prefix will create files like /tmp/diff_prefix.tmp and /tmp/diff_prefix1.tmp.

Diff output will not be generated for binary files, unless ignore_content_type is true, in which case diffs will be shown regardless of the content types.

Generated headers are encoded using header_encoding.

The list of diff_options strings are passed to the external diff program that subversion uses. Typical options are -b (ignore space changes) and -w (ignore all white space). The exact options that work depend on the version of subversion used and its configuration.

The depth can be used as in place of recurse. depth is one of the pysvn.depth enums.

If relative_to_dir is not None, the original_path and modified_path will have the relative_to_dir stripped from the front of the respective paths.

If relative_to_dir is not None but relative_to_dir is not a parent path of the target, an error is returned.

pysvn.Client.diff_peg

diff_text = \
diff_peg( tmp_path,
          url_or_path,
          peg_revision=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.unspecified ),
          revision_start=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.base ),
          revision_end=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.working ),
          recurse=True,
          ignore_ancestry=False,
          diff_deleted=True,
          ignore_content_type=False,
          header_encoding="",
          diff_options=[],
          depth=depth )

return the differences between two revisions of the url_or_path. diff_text is a string containing the diff output.

diff uses tmp_path to form the filename when creating any temporary files needed. The names are formed using tmp_path + unique_string + ".tmp". For example tmp_path=/tmp/diff_prefix will create files like /tmp/diff_prefix.tmp and /tmp/diff_prefix1.tmp.

Set recurse to True to recursively diff a directory's children. diff_text is a string containing the diff.

The depth can be used as in place of recurse. depth is one of the pysvn.depth enums.

peg_revision indicates in which revision url_or_path is valid. If peg_revision.kind is opt_revision_kind.unspecified, then it defaults to opt_revision_kind.head for URLs or opt_revision_kind.working for WC targets.

Diff output will not be generated for binary files, unless ignore_content_type is true, in which case diffs will be shown regardless of the content types.

Generated headers are encoded using header_encoding.

The list of diff_options strings are passed to the external diff program that subversion uses. Typical options are -b (ignore space changes) and -w (ignore all white space). The exact options that work depend on the version of subversion used and its configuration.

pysvn.Client.diff_summarize

summary = \
diff_summarize( url_or_path1,
                revision1=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.base ),
                url_or_path2=url_or_path,
                revision2=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.working ),
                recurse=True,
                ignore_ancestry=False,
                depth=depth )

Produce a diff summary which lists the changed items between url_or_path1 revision1 and url_or_path2 revision2 without creating text deltas. url_or_path1 and url_or_path2 can be either working-copy paths or URLs.

The function may report false positives if ignore_ancestry is False, since a file might have been modified between two revisions, but still have the same contents.

The depth can be used as in place of recurse. depth is one of the pysvn.depth enums.

pysvn.Client.diff_summarize_peg

diff_text = \
diff_summarize_peg( url_or_path,
                    peg_revision=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.unspecified ),
                    revision_start=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.base ),
                    revision_end=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.working ),
                    recurse=True,
                    ignore_ancestry=False,
                    depth=depth )

Produce a diff summary which lists the changed items between the filesystem object url_or_path in peg revision peg_revision, as it changed between revision_start and revision_end. url_or_path can be either a working-copy path or URL.

If peg_revision is opt_revision_unspecified, behave identically to svn_client_diff_summarize(), using path for both of that function's url_or_path1 and url_or_path2 argments.

The function may report false positives if ignore_ancestry is False, as described in the documentation for diff_summarize().

The depth can be used as in place of recurse. depth is one of the pysvn.depth enums.

pysvn.Client.export

revision = \
export( src_url_or_path,
        dest_path,
        force=False,
        revision=pysvn.Revision(),
        native_eol=None,
        ignore_externals=False,
        recurse=True,
        peg_revision=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.unspecified ),
        depth=depth )

Create an unversioned copy of the src_path at revision in dest_path. Set recurse to False to export a single file. Set ignore_externals to True to ignore externals definitions.

peg_revision indicates in which revision src_url_or_path is valid. If peg_revision.kind is opt_revision_kind.unspecified, then it defaults to opt_revision_kind.head for URLs or opt_revision_kind.working for WC targets.

1. Exports a clean directory tree from the repository specified by URL src_url_or_path, at revision if it is given, otherwise at HEAD, into dest_path.
2. Exports a clean directory tree from the working copy specified by src_path into dest_path. All local changes will be preserved, but files not under revision control will not be copied.

The depth can be used as in place of recurse. depth is one of the pysvn.depth enums.

native_eol parameter allows the line ending of files with svn:eol-style propery set to native to be overriden. Use None to use the eol-style of the Operating System, use "LF" to use "\n", "CR" to use "\r" and "CRLF" to use "\r\n".

export returns a pysvn.Revision containing the number of the checked in revision.

Note: The native_eol parameter is only available for svn 1.1.0 or later.

pysvn.Client.get_auth_cache

enabled = get_auth_cache()

return true if credential caching is enabled, otherwise return false.

pysvn.Client.get_adm_dir

name = get_adm_dir()

Returns the name of the subverion admin directory.

pysvn.Client.get_auto_props

enabled = get_auto_props()

Returns true if svn will automatically set properties when adding files, otherwise returns false.

pysvn.Client.get_changelist

changelist_list = \
get_changelist( path,
                changelist,
                depth=depth,
                changelists=[] )

TBD

The depth is one of the pysvn.depth enums.

pysvn.Client.get_default_password

password = get_default_password()

Returns None if no default is set otherwise returns the password as a string.

pysvn.Client.get_default_username

username = get_default_username()

Returns None if no default is set otherwise returns the username as a string.

pysvn.Client.get_interactive

enabled = get_interactive()

Returns true if svn will prompt for missing credential information, otherwise returns false.

pysvn.Client.get_store_passwords

enabled = get_store_passwords()

Returns true if svn will store passwords after prompting for them, otherwise returns false.

pysvn.Client.import_

revision = \
import_( path,
         url,
         log_message,
         recurse=True,
         ignore=False,
         revprops )

Commit an unversioned file or tree into the repository.

Recursively commit a copy of PATH to URL. Parent directories are created as necessary in the repository. Set ignore to False to disregard default and svn:ignore property ignores.

revprops TBD

import_ returns a pysvn.Revision containing the number of the checked in revision.

pysvn.Client.info

entry = info( path )

return information on path as a Entry object.

pysvn.Client.info2

entry_list = \
info2( url_or_path,

       peg_revision=pysvn.Revision( opt_revision_kind.unspecified ),
       recurse=True,
       depth=depth )

return information on url_or_path as a list of (path, info_dict) tuples. To return information about a URL revision must be opt_revision_kind.head or opt_revision_kind.number.

peg_revision indicates in which revision url_or_path is valid. If peg_revision.kind is opt_revision_kind.unspecified, then it defaults to opt_revision_kind.head for URLs or opt_revision_kind.working for WC targets.

The depth can be used as in place of recurse. depth is one of the pysvn.depth enums.

dirent_fields controls which dirent fields will return. Use pysvn.SVN_DIRENT_ALL to return all fields. Bit-wise or one of these values to return only the selected fields:

• SVN_DIRENT_KIND - return kind field
• SVN_DIRENT_SIZE - return size field
• SVN_DIRENT_HAS_PROPS - return has_props field
• SVN_DIRENT_CREATED_REV - return created_rev field
• SVN_DIRENT_TIME - return time field

Return the log messages for the specified url_or_path between revisions start and end. Set limit to the maximum number of log messages to be returned, 0 means return all messages.

If discover_changed_paths is set, the changed_paths dictionary entry is filled with a list of changed paths. If strict_node_history is set, log entries will not cross copies.

If url_or_path no longer exists in the repos of WC then pass in a peg_revision of a revision where it did exist.

include_merged_revisions TBD

revprops is a list of strings that name the revprops to be returned.

log returns a list of log entries; each log entry is a dictionary. The dictionary contains:

• author - string - the name of the author who committed the revision
• date - float time - the date of the commit

       make_parents,
       revprops )

Create a new directory under revision control.

url_or_path can be a list of URLs and paths

make_parents and revprops TBD

If url_or_path is a path, each directory is scheduled for addition upon the next commit.

If url_or_path is a URL, the directories are created in the repository via an immediate commit.

In both cases, all the intermediate directories must already exist.

pysvn.Client.move

move( src_url_or_path,
      dest_url_or_path,
      force=False )

Move (rename) something in working copy or HEAD revision of repository.

NOTE: this command is equivalent to a 'copy' and 'delete'.

src_path and dest_path can both be working copy (WC) paths or URLs:

• WC -> WC: move and schedule for addition (with history)
• URL -> URL: complete server-side rename.

If src_url_or_path is a path, each item is scheduled for deletion upon the next commit. Files, and directories that have not been committed, are immediately removed from the working copy. The command will not remove PATHs that are, or contain, unversioned or modified items; set force=True to override this behaviour.

If src_url_or_path is a URL, the items are deleted from the repository via an immediate commit.

pysvn.Client.move2

move2( sources,
       dest_url_or_path,
       move_as_child=False,
       make_parents=False,

• WC -> WC: move and schedule for addition (with history)
• WC -> URL: immediately commit a move of WC to URL
• URL -> WC: check out URL into WC, schedule for addition
• URL -> URL: complete server-side move; used to branch and tag

If the destination is a URL the client_get_log_message callback must be implemented to return a log message.

        ignore_externals=False,
        depth=depth )

If path is a directory status is returned for all files in the directory in status_list. If path is a single file status is returned for that single file in status_list. Set ignore_externals to True to ignore externals definitions.

The status_list is a list of PysvnStatus objects.

Options:

• recurse - If recurse is True, recurse fully, else do only immediate children.
• get_all - If get_all is True, retrieve all entries; otherwise, retrieve only "interesting" entries (local mods and/or out-of-date).
• update - If update is set, contact the repository and augment the status structures with information about out-of-dateness.
• ignore - If ignore is False, the item will be added regardless of whether it is ignored.
• ignore_externals (svn 1.2.0 or later) - If ignore_externals is False, then recurse into externals definitions (if any exist) after handling the main target. This calls the client notification function with the wc_notify_action.external action before handling each externals definition, and with wc_notify_action.completed after each.

• depth - can be used as in place of recurse. depth is one of the pysvn.depth enums.

pysvn.Client.switch

Update the working copy to a different URL.

The depth can be used as in place of recurse. depth is one of the pysvn.depth enums.

1. Update the working copy to mirror a new URL. This behaviour is a superset of "svn update". Note: this is the way to move a working copy to a new branch.
2. Reconnect the working copy when the repository URL has changed.

pysvn.Client.unlock

unlock( url_or_path,
        force=False )

Unlock the url_or_path. Set force to True to unlock any lock held by another user.

        ignore_externals=False,
        depth=depth )

Update the file in the working copy at path to the specified revision. Set recurse to True to recursively update a directory's children. Set ignore_externals to True to ignore externals definitions.

path can be a single path string or a list of path strings.

The depth can be used in place of recurse. depth is one of the pysvn.depth enums. Use pysvn.depth.unknown to update all files and folders in the working copy honoring the current depths. Use pysvn.depth.infinity to upadate all files and folders adding any that are missing ignoring the current depths.

update returns a pysvn.Revision containing the number of the revision the working copy was updated to.

This command is typically used to get the latest changes from the repository.

Note: updating to an older revision does not change the current revision. To make the current version identical to an older revision, use a merge followed by a commit.

pysvn.Transaction - Subversion transaction interface

Interface summary:

transaction = pysvn.Transaction()
transaction = pysvn.Transaction( repos_path, transaction_name )

The Transaction object allows you to implement hook code for the SVN repository. The pre-commit and pre-revprop-change hooks are the only hooks that are currently appropriate in SVN. See the SVN documentation for details on hook scripts.

A Transaction object can only be used on one thread at a time. If two threads attempt to call methods of Transaction at the same time one of the threads will get a pysvn.TransactionError exception with the value 'transaction in use on another thread'.

Transaction methods

cat	changed
propdel	propget	proplist	propset
revpropdel	revpropget	revproplist	revpropset

pysvn.Transaction.cat

file_text = \
cat( path )

Return the contents of path as a string, file_text.

pysvn.Transaction.changed

file_text = \
changed( [copy_info=False] )

Return a dict of all changes in the transaction. The keys in the dict are the path names and the values are tuples contraining action, kind, text_mod, prop_mod.

The optional copy_info parameter when True will return the copy from revision and copy from path information.

• action - string - a single letter indicating the action 'A' for add, 'R' for modify, 'D' for delete
• kind - node_kind - one of the pysvn.node_kind values
• text_mod - int - is != 0 if the text in this path has been modified
• prop_mod - int - is != 0 if the properties in this path have been modified
• copyfrom_rev - int - when path has been copied this is its copy from revision number
• copyfrom_path - int - when path has been copied this is its copy from path

Returns a prop_dict where the prop_dict contains the revision properies and their values in the transaction.

pysvn.Transaction.revpropset

rev = \
revpropset( prop_name,
            prop_value )

set the revision property prop_name to prop_value in path in the transaction. The revision updated is returned.

pysvn.Revision - subversion revision

The Revision object has three member variables:

• kind - the kind of revision, its value is one of the opt_revision_kind enumerations.
• date - date and time when kind is opt_revision_kind.date, as seconds since the epoch which is compatible with python's time module.
• number - revision number when kind is opt_revision_kind.number

Interface summary:

import pysvn
import time

revhead = pysvn.Revision( pysvn.opt_revision_kind.head )
revdate = pysvn.Revision( pysvn.opt_revision_kind.date, time.time() )
revnum = pysvn.Revision( pysvn.opt_revision_kind.number, 4721 )

pysvn.ClientError - Exception class raised by client commands on error

ClientError exception is raised when any of the subversion functions called by pysvn return an error.

The Client.exception_style variable controls the information stored in the ClientError object.

exception_style = 0

The args property is set to a single string parameter containing the whole error message. '\n' is used to seperate message parts.

Use str() to get the string description of the exception raised by pysvn.

import pysvn

client = pysvn.Client()
client.exception_style = 0
try:

    client.update( '.' )
except pysvn.ClientError, e:
    # convert to a string
    print str(e)
    # or access the string in args directly
    print e.args

exception_style = 1

The arg property is set to a tuple contain two values.

arg[0] is set to a string parameter containing the whole error message. '\n' is used to seperate message parts.

arg[1] is set to a list of tuples containing the message string and the error code. The error code values are defined by SVN and APR.

import pysvn

client = pysvn.Client()
client.exception_style = 1
try:

    client.update( '' )
except pysvn.ClientError, e:
    # print the whole message
    print e.args[0]
    # or process the error list
    for message, code in e.args[1]:
        print 'Code:',code,'Message:',message
