I am trying to use svnmerge.py to merge some files. Under the hood, it uses python, and when I use it, I get the error "The system cannot find the specified file." Colleagues at work run the same version of svnmerge.py and python (2.5.2, in particular r252: 60911) without problems.
I found this link that describes my problem. Trying to find out what was pointed out there, I confirmed that Python can find svn (this is in my way):
P: \> python
Python 2.5.2 (r252: 60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> i, k = os.popen4 ("svn --version")
>>> i.close ()
>>> k.readline ()
'svn, version 1.4.2 (r22196) \ n'
Looking at the svnmerge.py code, I noticed that for python version 2.4 and above it was executing a different execution path. Instead of referencing, os.popen4 () uses the .Popen () subprocess. Trying to reproduce the error:
C: \> python
