Hi Richard,
how did you configure your MediaWiki to make it return svg images? I
checked on en.labs.wikimedia.org, en.wikipedia.org and they all return
png images (if images are fetched via mwapidb). Is your wiki publicly
accessible - that would make testing easier for me ;)

Thanks for the hint. Just a note for future reference, the up to date
packages reside on http://pypi.python.org/pypi/svglib/0.6.0
Anyways I am going to convert svg images to png, since that makes the
image handling easier. The problem are inline images that reside inside
a paragraph - reportlab can't handle svg images there.

Volker
