Svn hook script under version control

Question

In the svn repository/hooks directory i have a pre-commit script. For now, in the same directory I have also script.py that is triggered by pre-commit.

In above scenario, my script.py is not under version control. That makes sense if I can't trust my users. However, in my case, I can trust my users and for maintenance purposes I would like to keep script.py under version control (same repo).

The question is: how to trigger my script: trunk/tools/script.py from repository/hooks/pre-commit script ?

I see 2 possible solutions (not ideal, though):

a) Checkout trunk/tools to repository/hooks and write small trampoline: (not real code, only idea!)

svn up tools
python -file tools/script.py %1 %2 %2
exit /b %ERRORLEVEL%

b) Cat trunk/tools/script.py to temp file and execute it. (again, idea only, I do not check that arguments passed correctly ...)

set TMPFILE=%TEMP%\%RANDOM%.py
svnlook cat %1 -r %2 trunk/tools/script.py > %TMPFILE%
python -file %TMPFILE% %1 %2 %2
exit /b %ERRORLEVEL%

P.S. You do not specify OS, so I assume it is Windows.

Well, I've been wondering about something similar to 2nd solution but it is still ugly hack. For now, let's wait for more answers. Thanks anyway, btw. I use linux.
