That is non-trivial. Read the "svn" documentation. You might be able to pass in the required information by other means, maybe an option, maybe an envvar, maybe via a configuration file. Otherwise, you must monitor what it written to the subprocess' "stdout" and "stderr", recognized the interaction request perform the interaction with the user and send the result to the subprocess' stdin. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
