Debugging Python Scripts

Found a great way to debug python scripts interactively using pdb aka Python Debugger. It is similar to gdb used on *nix.
Essentially you import pdb in the beginning of the script, and wherever you need to start debugging, add following statement :
pdb.set_trace()
Now you execute the script from command line, and execution will stop where you have added set_trace() call. You are presented with pdb prompt. There after it is similar to gdb commands.

SVN Plot creates variety of graphs by parsing the Subversion repository. The Project is created by Nitin Bhide. Now he happens to be my colleague. As part of learning Python, I’ve contributed to svnplot, hosted on Google Code.
Here are my changes
