Svglib is a pure-Python library for reading SVG files and converting them (to a reasonable degree) to other formats using the ReportLab Open Source toolkit. Used as a package you can read existing SVG files and convert them into ReportLab Drawing objects that can be used in a variety of contexts, e.g. as ReportLab Platypus Flowable objects or in RML. As a command-line tool it converts SVG files into PDF ones (but adding other output formats like bitmap or EPS is really easy and will be better supported, soon).
