virtualenv, python and subversion

Question

I'm trying to use the python subversion SWIG libraries in a virtualenv --no-site-packages environment. How can I make this work?

Why do you say it's impossible? Do you see an error when you try? What did you try? If you see the error, what is it? — Noufal Ibrahim, Jan 28 '11 at 17:10
Problem is that official installation way is using apt-get and there is no package at pypi repo. — Maciek Sawicki, Apr 13 '12 at 13:20

You can install it inside virtualenv from svn:

source /home/you/venv/python/bin/activate
pip install -e svn+http://pysvn.tigris.org/svn/pysvn/tags/pysvn/Extension/1.7.6/#egg=pysvn

That doesn't seem very "deployable". That solution will work for a machine at a time. I wonder if there is a way to do this in a generic way using requirements.txt or setuptools. – sholsapp Feb 07 '12 at 19:31
