 ... orr, you use a modern web browser engine such as XulRunner 1.9
(the engine behind FF 3+), or webkit (the engine behind arora, midori,
safari, android, chrome, palm's webos, adobe AIR, iphone, ipad,
appcelerator, nokia S60 browser, the IE chrome plugin, blackberry 4
OS's web browser, and god knows what else).

 and you create python bindings to that modern web browser engine, and
you can then use DOM manipulation (like javascript, only in python) to
get at those SVG functions, and much much more.

 ... how does that sound?

 yes.  called a web browser.  most likely a modern webkit-based
engine.

 yes.  in the webkit-based web browser.  or the "opera mini" browser.
