Dear Frank Martínez,

This work looks really exciting. I'd love to get you in touch with
Thomas Wiesner who has done a similar work in progress merge request:

https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/merge_requests/417

This functionality is similar, although not exactly the same. I believe
though that issues around how python accesses the internal svg document
are going to be the same.

The landing plan for such a feature would have to be post 1.0, so if
you were able to produce a branch on GitLab, then we would review it
but only want to merge it in after the 1.0 release is out the door.

You can also join us at https://chat.inkscape.org to talk more to other
developers as well as sending your message to the inkscape-devel
mailing list.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
