Trac should already work with SVN. I've already installed the trac > python bindings. But I have yet to test this out. You appear confused about how trac works with source code (SCC, not just subversion these days). You must always start with a valid trac "environment" (the folder where trac stores all its working data). If you want to link to SCC then trac needs appropriate bindings (which you say you have) and a pointer to the svn "repositories" (folders where svn stores its data). Depending on your version of Trac you configure this in the trac.ini or via the Admin interface (and you may need to enable the right optional components). You cannot just point the Trac app at a subversion folder and expect it to work, the data is just not the right stuff! Now it depends on how you want to use trac with these repositories. Recent versions of Trac support multiple repos from just one trac environment (this works well if your repos are closely related as one "project") but I tend to have a 1-trac-to-1-svn relationship. This does make "overview" reporting more difficult though. If you give us more info about your local setup (name and versions of OS, trac, subversion etc) and an idea of your use cases, we can give more specific advice, otherwise please read the documentation [1].
