make check-swig-py has never worked for me.  Perhaps any subversion devs 
who lurk around here will take a look at the testing framework for their 
python bindings.

the plugin directory name cannot have a "-" in it because it needs to be 
a valid python module name. (Is this documented anywhere?)  I always 
name mine svn.

The actual error that caused the plugin to fail loading will be listed 
at the end of ~/.bzr.log.  Can you tell us what that file says, to give 
more idea of what is going wrong?
