Hi Brian,
Here are some notes I made for myself about upgrading the bindings when
I upgrade Trac:
~ deleted the old svn and libsvn directories from
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages
~ opened the python bindings .zip and copied the two directories
to site-packages
~ copied all libsvn\_*.dll files to _*.pyd [1]
~ restarted the server and crossed fingers...
[1] I found this recommended in the t.e.o wiki at TracSubversion...
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracSubversion#forPython2.6
...in particular have you copied/renamed the .dll files? Hope this
helps...
