Does pysvn work with Python 3.2 on Ubuntu 11.04?

I've got the pysvn module working great in Python 2.7.1, but it refuses to import in Python 3.2. It was installed with apt-get, so I figured it should work for both.

xxxxx:~$ python
Python 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Sep 27 2012, 21:12:17)
[GCC 4.5.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pysvn
>>> exit()

xxxxx:~$ python3
Python 3.2 (r32:88445, Oct 20 2012, 14:09:29)
[GCC 4.5.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pysvn
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pysvn
>>> exit()

edit: I've tried installing the 3.2 version through pip as well, here's the results

xxxxx:~$ sudo pip-3.2 install http://pysvn.barrys-emacs.org/source_kits/pysvn-1.7.8.tar.gz  Downloading/unpacking http://pysvn.barrys-emacs.org/source_kits/pysvn-1.7.8.tar.gz
  Downloading pysvn-1.7.8.tar.gz (347kB): 347kB downloaded
  Running setup.py egg_info for package from http://pysvn.barrys-emacs.org/source_kits/pysvn-1.7.8.tar.gz

Cleaning up...
xxxxx:~$ python3
Python 3.2 (r32:88445, Oct 20 2012, 14:09:29)

>>> import pysvn

ImportError: No module named pysvn

python3-svn has been included into Ubuntu distribution only since 16.10 Yakkety. For those having older Ubuntu versions the information below may help.

This is how I built and installed pysvn for Python3 on Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit (and later on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit):

  1. Already had subversion and python3.
  2. Installed libsvn-dev: sudo apt-get install libsvn-dev. This will also install libapr1-dev.
  3. Downloaded pysvn-1.9.3.tar.gz from the Tigris website and unpacked it into a temp directory. The latest tar-balls from Tigris already include pycxx sources.
  4. Changed the lines '../Import/pycxx-%d.%d.%d' % pycxx_version, to '../Import/pycxx-6.2.8', in the unpacked setup_configure.py file, so that it pointed to the unpacked pycxx directory. The --pycxx-dir parameter not worked for me, hence the brute hardcoding. It may work for your case, though, so you may want to try it first (see the comment from @djangonaut).

  5. Run

    python3 setup.py configure \ --svn-lib-dir=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ \ --apr-lib-dir=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ \ --verbose

    The two additional dir parameters point to the directory where libsvn_client-1.so and libapr-1.so are. On 64-bit system it's gonna be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.

  6. Run make to actually build the library.
  7. Run unit tests: cd ../Tests, make.

  8. Installed the built library:

    cd ../Source sudo mkdir /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pysvn sudo cp pysvn/__init__.py /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pysvn/ sudo cp pysvn/*.so /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pysvn/

  9. Done.

This is mostly what is described in the INSTALL.html file from the pysvn sources, with some tweaks.

Cannot add comment to leave a link, so put it here:

My way on linux:

Get sources from here

tar -zxf pysvn-1.9.10.tar.gz
apt-get install subversion libsvn1 libsvn-dev make g++
cd pysvn-1.9.10/Source
python setup.py configure --pycxx-dir=/pysvn-1.9.10/Import/pycxx-7.1.3/
make

Here i've got errors below:

Compile: /pysvn-1.9.10/Import/pycxx-7.1.3/Src/cxxsupport.cxx into cxxsupport.o
/pysvn-1.9.10/Import/pycxx-7.1.3/Src/cxxsupport.cxx:42:10: fatal error: Src/Python3/cxxsupport.cxx: No such file or directory
#include "Src/Python3/cxxsupport.cxx"

Compile: /pysvn-1.9.10/Import/pycxx-7.1.3/Src/cxxextensions.c into cxxextensions.o
/pysvn-1.9.10/Import/pycxx-7.1.3/Src/cxxextensions.c:42:10: fatal error: Src/Python3/cxxextensions.c: No such file or directory
#include "Src/Python3/cxxextensions.c"

It is needed to edit that files: vi /pysvn-1.9.10/Import/pycxx-7.1.3/Src/cxxsupport.cxx

change #include "Src/Python3/cxxsupport.cxx" to
#include "Python3/cxxsupport.cxx"

and same on second file. Than make again:

make clean && make
...
Compile: /code/pysvn-1.9.10/Import/pycxx-7.1.3/Src/cxxextensions.c into cxxextensions.o
Compile: /code/pysvn-1.9.10/Import/pycxx-7.1.3/Src/IndirectPythonInterface.cxx into IndirectPythonInterface.o
Compile: /code/pysvn-1.9.10/Import/pycxx-7.1.3/Src/cxx_exceptions.cxx into cxx_exceptions.o
Link pysvn/_pysvn_3_7.so

Then just copy it to the site-packages (change to yours directory):

mkdir /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pysvn
cp /code/pysvn-1.9.10/Sources/pysvn/__init__.py /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/
cp /code/pysvn-1.9.10/Sources/pysvn/_pysvn*.so /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/

Ubuntu distributes the packages for Python 2 and Python 3 separately as different source code has to be used for the two major versions of Python. Typically the Python 3 package is prefixed with python3 instead of python. No Python 3 pysvn package seems to exist in Ubuntu though pysvn supports Python 3.
