If you are using a nightly, you cannot update it directly via "svn
update". You have to either :
* (delete the old directory) and download again the lastest nightly.
Repeat everytime you want to update (delete + download)
* (delete the old directory) and do svn checkout

http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/

pywikipedia , this will create a new "pywikipedia" dir, with the
latest trunk version from SVN, and additional information for svn to
work. For next updates, just go to the directory it created, and do
"svn update". Instead of deleting, and downloading everything, it just
patches your local files, to reflect the changes made by the
developers since then.

I think that if you do what's written on the wikipage :
* go to the directory where you have downloaded the nightly ("pywikipedia" ?)
* svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/
pywikipedia
You will get :
pywikipedia/ - contains the nightly, and a subdirectory pywikipedia
pywikipedia/pywikipedia/ - contains the latest svn versionroot

Ahhh. So the command you gave should be entered from the home directory. Could you check http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipedia#Update and fix any errors?

And I'll read in more detail next time I need to update :-)

Thanks again,
Chris

And if you do "svn update" on the top directory, nothing will happen.
