RE: Parsing SVG in python

Hi Björn,

Many thanks. Your reference to lxml did the trick. Here is my code. It is a
work in progress. I am storing all coordinates of lines and rectangles in a
python list.
import numpy as np
from lxml import etree
filename='plan.svg'
tree = etree.parse(open(filename, 'r'))
#mega list of all coordinates
allPoints=[]
for element in tree.iter():
 cleanTag=element.tag.split("}")[1]
 #handle a rectangle and a line
 if cleanTag=='line' or cleanTag=='rect':
  x1=element.get('x1')
  x2=element.get('x2')
  y1=element.get('y1')
  y2=element.get('y2')
  allPoints.append(x1)
  allPoints.append(y1)
  allPoints.append(x2)
  allPoints.append(y2)
for item in allPoints:
 print item

You probably need to read up on namespace usage in ElementTree, e.g.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14853243/ has some information.
