As you can see, this is done now. The value appears at the Python level only for tags, though, because it will be unreliable for the trunk and for branches. > patchlevel.h seems like the natural place to put this, since any release > manager is going to be modifying this file anyway.

It would still be one level behind: patchlevel.h gets N, then 'svn cp' creates the tag, producing N+1. OTOH, for a tag, the revision number is nearly irrelevant.
