A quick search revealed this:

- I found a reference to a svg2ps converter, even though I could not find 
the program

- This is the interesting one: http://www.eskimo.com/~robla/svg2swf/ A 
Python program that converts SVG to SWF. I looked at it. It is a lot of 
code, but very straight forward. The math is done for you. All you gotta do 
now is to draw on a PIL Image frame instead of a SWG frame. That should not 
be too hard (just a lot of work). After you converted everything to a 
SVG2PIL converter, I will help you making it a Zope product (I have 
experience with that - see the Latex- and ZGraphMethod at 
http://demo.iuveno-net.de).

Stephan
