Unable to convert svg to png

[jamessappy]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a svg file to png. I've used the following code:

      _from svglib.svglib import svg2rlg
      from reportlab.graphics import renderPM_

      _drawing = svg2rlg(svg_path)
      renderPM.drawToFile(drawing, png_path, fmt= 'PNG')_

I receive the following error message:

      _AttributeError: 'lxml.etree._Element' object has no attribute 'ancestors'. Did you mean: 'iterancestors'?_

I'm not exactly sure what my issue here is, thought maybe it was my version but I've updated python as well as the svglib and reportlab libraries and still haven't had any luck.

Thanks!

I think a full error traceback could help spotting the issue more precisely.

Thanks, yes, it helps. Would it be possible to also have the SVG file that triggers this error?

[claudep]

Oh, and the version of svglib you are using, please.

[jamessappy]

I am using version 1.3.0 of the svlib library. I've also attached the .svg file that I'm trying to convert.

Thanks, I was able to reproduce the issue, a first step to resolution :-)
