[Python-apps-team] Bug#676176: (no subject)

[Daniel Swarbrick]

Without digging too deep into the code, I found that if I patched the 
offending line 4801 of core.py from:

return _core.svn_stream_read(*args)

to instead:

return _core.svn_stream_read(args[0], int(args[1]))

it would work ok. For reference, args was:

(<libsvn.core.svn_stream_t; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'svn_stream_t 
*' at 0x7f8d75d00b40> >, 102400L)

and it appears that something doesn't like the long int.

I've only noticed this problem in the last 48 hours (on a wheezy box), 
and I suspect it was after upgrading libsvn etc. to 1.6.17dfsg-4. It was 
certainly working fine with 1.6.17dfsg-3, and I suspect also with 
1.6.17dfsg-3.1, but since the latter is no longer in the repos, I can't 
say for sure.
