FYI, this is not the true revision number; it's only the revision number in which the directory was last modified, not the latest revision number within the tree. You probably want to do a bit more processing of "svn info -R", or else parse the .svn/entries files yourself. There's some Python code that does this at: http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/setuptools/setuptools/command/egg_info.py Specifically, see the 'get_svn_revision' method for an example of processing .svn/entries files to find out the highest committed revision number in a source tree. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
