Hi all,

Is it possible to parse SVG in python? I was trying to use the following
code and not getting any output.


try:
    import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET
except ImportError:
    import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

tree = ET.ElementTree(file='plan.svg')
root=tree.getroot()

for elem in tree.iter(tag='rect'):
   print elem.tag, elem.attrib

The plan.svg file is at:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3688386/plan.svg

I have tried the above code with regular xml and the code works.
