Hi,
I tried to send a mail to the inkscape mailing list, and received no replies yet
Since Python has been for me (as well for lot of people) a better understandable language, Inkscape has not yet a default .ai (Adobe Illustrator) importer, and as well ill2svg.pl (which comes with Inkscape) is lacking some features (dashes, joins...) and with some bugs (doesn't fisish a conversion, and so on), i started code a ill2svg.pl replacement, named ai2svg.py
The text conversion have more care than from ill2svg.pl, because gets the ascii-latin encoding from .ai to .svg - since it's only ascii-latin, examples from other languages are welcome (like japanese, arabic, etc.) - due on limitations, the text boxes may not be placed with the desired position and typeface, but the textbox with its content will be converted
My concern on coding this on Python is as well if more people may want to work on this code, which i think seems to be easier to understand than from Perl
The only thing it lacks compaired with ill2svg.pl is about embedded and/or linked pictures, since i don't know how to handle it, as well i'm more on avoiding ImageMagick library calls, and doing hardcoding instead
At least for my daily usage, my code seems to be more useful than ill2svg.pl, and i would be glad on helping Inkscape development with this so humble contribution from me
The converter is at http://www15.brinkster.com/nitrofurano/python - is in that .zip file, in the utils folder (for curiousity, there are some other utils and minimal stuff as well)
regards, Paulo Silva
Has anyone tried this? Does it work? I don't have a way to really test AI import.

Heya, don't forget all the AI files I uploaded for testing any AI things:

Totally. After you've done, tell me and I'll remove them from my site.

Done. If anyone else has test files for Inkscape. Formats or other things, throw them in that repository. That way we don't loose them :)
