pysvn in Autodesk maya's python 2.7.11

Question

I'm trying to use pysvn with Maya Python version 2.7.11.

Neither the official pysvn installation nor the installation via maya pip gave me the desired results.

I tried download pysvn for 2.7.11 version in https://pysvn.sourceforge.io/downloads.html

But maya raised error:

   File "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2020\Python\lib\site-packages\maya\utils.py", line 386, in formatGuiException
     exceptionMsg = unicode(exceptionObject)
  UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc1 in position 17: ordinal not in range(128)
  Original exception was:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<maya console>", line 4, in <module>
     File "/2.7.11/pysvn/__init__.py", line 116, in <module>
     import _pysvn_2_7
ImportError: DLL load failed:

error in maya script editor.

Second try was mayapy -m pip install pysvn

But this module had very little functionality.

Answer 1

The official PySvn package is actually called pysvn-wheel.

https://pypi.org/project/pysvn-wheel/

Also note that Maya 2020 launches with Python 3.x I believe, unless you explicitly tell it to run in Python 2.x. Remember to use the proper Python executable to install if you intend to run with Python 2.x - its site-packages is probably at a different location.
