I'm writing to announce the recent re-release of play-svg, a set of python libraries aimed at generative and geometry-based coding for creating SVG files: https://github.com/cosmo-guffa/play-svg, with some minimal documention here: http://cosmo-guffa.github.io/play-svg/ .  It includes some Inkscape extensions for plotting various geometric objects as well as many more scripts demonstrating its use.    Currently the extensions are undocumented, though most of them are pretty self-explanatory in live preview mode.

My project went defunct in 2009 when the pyxml libraries got canned.  I recently decided to dust the project off and get it back up and running.  I noticed the Inkscape community implemented the use of lxml and so I decided to do so as well. 

I'm realizing that having to install the libraries before using the extensions is an impediment to their use.  However, I think that they could serve as a valuable resource for extension developers who want to strip out a lot of the lower-level coding that goes on.  Particularly, I've implemented object-oriented creation of paths with some useful helper functions and created an object-oriented interface to creating all svg elements. 

What I'm wondering is, would it benefit the project to include play-svg and its extensions in Inkscape ?  If so, how could they best integrate ?  I would like to preserve the ability to import the libraries in stand-alone scripts for those who have already installed Inkscape.  What could I do for the project to make it as high-calibre as the Inkscape software itself ? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated :)

Sincerely,

~Cosmo
