According to subversion-1.4.3/subversion/bindings/swig/INSTALL, the 
appropriate path to put in the .pth file is 
/Users/ram/opt/subversion/lib/svn-python and the import to try is 
"import svn.core" rather than my earlier "import libsvn.core".  Can you 
also give an "ls" of the two directories under .../svn-python and check 
that the path in the svn.pth file does appear in sys.path?  I'm really 
not sure why the import isn't working correctly.  Peace,

-Neil
