It provides two main client classes\u2014LocalClient for working with local checked-out copies and RemoteClient for accessing remote repositories\u2014plus an Admin class for repository creation. Both clients share a common set of methods for operations like checkout, commit, log, diff, list, info, and status.\n\nThe library is designed as an accessible alternative to heavier bindings, with no external Python dependencies beyond the requirement that the svn command-line tool be installed on your system. It supports username and password authentication and offers both simple and extended output formats for many operations. However, the package has been dormant since 2020, with the last commit in April 2024, so it may not reflect recent Subversion or Python ecosystem changes.","worth_installing":"Yes, but with conditions. Install if you must integrate with an existing Subversion repository and have the svn command-line client available on your system. The package is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, but maintenance is dormant\u2014expect no updates for new Python or Subversion versions. The GPL 2 copyleft license requires careful review if you plan to distribute your code. For new projects, consider modern version-control systems; for legacy SVN systems, this remains a practical lightweight option."},"id":"svn","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/svn","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/svn.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/svn/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-02-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"svn","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Intuitive Subversion wrapper."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":155366,"position":10820,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.1"}
