Sorry. Forgot to specify that this was on Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9) with bzr 2.6, running with python2.6 as the default Python (configured by Apple's "defaults" tool) instead of python2.7 which is usually the default in this OS.

[Gordon Tyler (doxxx)]

As I recall, there's a problem with the Subversion libraries in Mavericks such that the binaries installed by the bzr installer can't load them. I haven't had the time to figure out why or how to fix it.

[Andrew Johnson (anj)]

This bug appears to be a duplicate of #1244668, the comments of which contain a work-around.
