  Description     : Python library for reading SVG files and converting them

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).

I intent to maintain this package under the umbrella of the Debian
Python Team. It is introduced as a dependency for flatcam-beta [1].
