subversion-python25bindings 1.5.5_0 Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

[jxraynor@…]

When trying to use the subversion-python25bindings port, I get the following problem:

>>> from svn import fs
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
Abort trap

I'm running this on OS X 10.5.6 with the python 2.5.4_0+darwin_9+macosx port. Cursory searches on the web indicate that the lib /opt/local/lib/libsvn_swig_py25-1.0.0.0.dylib is linking against Apple-provides libs when it shouldn't be. For example:

> otool -L /opt/local/lib/libsvn_swig_py25-1.0.0.0.dylib |grep /System
	/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python (compatibility version 2.5.0, current version 2.5.1)
	/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 34102.0.0)
	/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/CoreServices (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 32.0.0)

Make sure you have the python_select port installed, and used it to select python25:

sudo port install python_select
sudo python_select python25
