I've had great success using Apache's FOP utility (http:// xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop) to generate PDFs out of XSL-FO, which can contain SVG graphics (at least the 0.20.5 version can, the newer rewrite version doesn't yet). FOP is a java library but has a suitable command line interface. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
