I thought for a moment that PyX would do it. I just checked their roadmap
though and SVG support is "not started":
http://pyx.sourceforge.net/roadmap.html

Since SVG files are a type of XML and you only want to modify the text
blocks can you not just use an XML library?

Alternatively, if you don't get an answer here it might be worth trying the
PyX-user list.
