[reportlab-users] ANN: svglib 0.6.0

[Dinu Gherman]

Hi,

after a long development pause I'm glad to announce svglib 0.6.0
which has mostly been only repackaged and extended with a huge
test suite (partly downloaded from the W3C). Other than that
only some small buglets were fixed and the API has changed to
reflect the package reorganisation.

 From the README:

   `Svglib` is an experimental library for reading `SVG
   <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/>`_ files and converting them
   (to a reasonable degree) to other formats using the Open Source
   `ReportLab Toolkit <http://see www.reportlab.org>`_. As a package
   it reads existing SVG files and returns them converted to Report-
   Lab Drawing objects that can be used in a variety of ReportLab-
   related contexts, e.g. as Platypus Flowable  objects or in RML2PDF.
   As a command-line tool it converts SVG files into PDF ones. Tests
   include a vast amount of tests from the `W3C SVG test suite
   <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Test_Suite_Overview>`_.

You should be able to easy_install "svglib" and lookup details
in the Python Package Index:

   http://pypi.python.org/pypi/svglib

I have added some tests trying to compare svglib with unicon-
vertor, which gives very mixed results, since uniconv fails
to work properly on any of the W3C sample files.

Regards,

Dinu
