Wrote this python code to assist in updating Wordpress versions via SVN. The .py script, called update-wp.py, simply sits under your DocumentRoot folder. In this case, I have the directory set to www. Note that you must have installed your original Wordpress version using the SVN checkout command for any of this to work. More on that can be found here.
