Please do not cross-post between users@ and dev@. This is really a usage question (not about the development of subversion), so belongs on users@.

I don't know details about the script, but just know that Python has changed quite a bit between 2.x and 3.x (and this script certainly pre-dates python 3.x). Further: as you have probably read in the svn faq entry: to avoid this issue be careful that all the svn clients you use are from the same major.minor version (e.g. all 1.6.x clients, or all 1.5.x).
