tkpath does not seem to come standard with Python's tk version when I

No not really :-), I just wanted to display a SVG in tkinter with the 
minimal amount of external dependencies, since I have achieved that I 
thought I share my experience, so that the next time someone google 
tkinter and display svg it will return something that (well at least of 
the time of this writing) worked.

Thanks for the info though.
