Description: `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://www.reportlab.org>`_. As a package it reads existing
        SVG files and returns them converted to ReportLab 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>`_.
        It also accesses around `200 flags from Wikipedia.org
        <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_sovereign_state_flags>`_
        for test purposes (some of them hinting at more work to be done).
        
        This release changes the license from GPL 3 to LGPL 3, introduces
        tiny bug fix reported by Harald Armin Massa and adapts to changed
        URLs for Wikipedia SVG flags used for test purposes.
        
        
        Features
        ++++++++
        
        - convert SVG files into ReportLab Graphics Drawing objects
        - handle plain or compressed SVG files (.svg and .svgz)
        - allow patterns for output files on command-line
        - install a Python package named ``svglib``
        - install a Python command-line script named ``svg2pdf``
        - provide a Unittest test suite
        - test on some standard W3C SVG tests available online
        - test on some Wikipedia sample SVG symbols available online
        - test on some Wikipedia sample SVG flags available online
        
        
        Examples
        ++++++++
        
        You can use `svglib` as a Python package e.g. like in the following
        interactive Python session::
        
        >>> from svglib.svglib import svg2rlg
        >>> from reportlab.graphics import renderPDF
        >>>
        >>> drawing = svg2rlg("file.svg")
        >>> renderPDF.drawToFile(drawing, "file.pdf")
        
        In addition a script named ``svg2pdf`` can be used more easily from
        the system command-line like this (you can see more examples when
        typing ``svg2pdf -h``)::
        
        $ svg2pdf file1.svg file2.svgz
        $ svg2pdf -o "%(basename)s.pdf" /path/file[12].svgz?
