OK, I need some more info. Can you try the following:
Download the srpm:
http://terjeros.fedorapeople.org/python-svn/python-svn-1.5.2-2.fc8.src.rpm
Install by
$ rpm -Uvh python-svn-1.5.2-2.fc8.src.rpm
Now build by
$ rpmbuild -ba /path/to/python-svn.spec
Post any error output.
Note: these lines
%description debuginfo
debug info
in your original spec file should not be there, debuginfo packages is
generated
automagically by rpmbuild itself. Just remove those lines.

Same thing. I even did a rpmdev-wipetree to make sure I was using the
spec from the srpm. I think something is stuck in my environment, and I
don't know what it would be...
$ rpmdev-wipetree
Removing all build files...
$ ls -Al ./rpmbuild/SPECS/
total 0
$ rpm -Uvh ./python-svn-1.5.2-2.fc8.src.rpm
