Subversion has Python bindings, but for a friendlier interface have a look 
at http://pysvn.tigris.org/

An example from the docs at 
http://pysvn.tigris.org/docs/pysvn_prog_guide.html:

Commit changes to the repository

import pysvn
# edit the file foo.txt
f = open('./examples/pysvn/foo.txt', 'w')
f.write('Sample versioned file via python\n')
f.close()
# checkin the change with a log message
client = pysvn.Client()
client.checkin(['./examples/pysvn'], 'Corrected spelling of python in foo.txt')
