In general, no.  The python svn repo linked to above is frozen in time: 
for most branches, as of the conversion to hg in 2011.  There was at 
least one discussion thread soon thereafter about what to do about it:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/125252

It is still true that at least one repo in the svn.python.org is 
actively maintained (e.g. "external").  I *think* all the others are now 
obsolete.
