svg2rlg is a python tool to convert SVG files to reportlab graphics.

The tool can be used as a console application to convert SVG to PDF files.

Homepage: http://code.google.com/p/svg2rlg/
Download : http://pypi.python.org/pypi/svg2rlg/

Known problems ( AKA todo list):
* Missing support for elliptical arcs in paths. It is belived to be  
possible to convert arcs to quadratic beziers.
* Text handling is limited.
* Style sheets not supported.

Note that some limitations are due to limitation in the reportlab graphics  
package:
* No gradients
* No text on path
* No filling rules (only odd-even)

A wxpython tool is included in the distribution which does a side by side  
comparison to the SVG test suite.
Presently most of the official SVG 1.1 test suite is prefect.
