Summary:                    fails to load subversion bindings
Description: 
When accessing the timeline of a tracked project, we get in the log file:

2012-01-16 17:23:14,836 Trac[svn_fs] INFO: Failed to load Subversion
bindings
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/trac/versioncontrol/svn_fs.py",
line 267, in __init__
    _import_svn()
  File "/opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/trac/versioncontrol/svn_fs.py",
line 68, in _import_svn
    from svn import fs, repos, core, delta
ImportError: cannot import name fs

Many other actions, e.g. trac-admin,  gives a similar message.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Perusing http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracSubversion#Troubleshooting ,
section "Unsupported version control system 'svn'" it appears that snv
python bindings are not known by the system python.

A temporary correction is to symbolically link the 2 needed modules:

# cd /opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/
# ln -s /opt/csw/lib/svn/python/site-packages/libsvn libsvn
# ln -s /opt/csw/lib/svn/python/site-packages/svn svn

Et voilà !

I'm sure that a more elegant, maintainer way, is possible.
