To make matters worse, Document.add_path() adds the path without the prefix, causing the path to not render in chrome.
Here's an example, which includes a little hack at the end as a workaround.
from svgpathtools import Document, Path, polygon
doc = Document('test.svg')
xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax = Path(*[seg for path in doc.paths() for seg in path]).bbox()
box = polygon(xmin+ymin*1j, xmax+ymin*1j, xmax+ymax*1j, xmin+ymax*1j)
doc.add_path(box, attribs={'stroke':"red", 'stroke-width':'0.1', 'fill': 'none'})
doc.save('test2.svg')
# fix for issue #182
with open('test2.svg') as f:
txt = f.read().replace('<path', '<svg:path')
with open('test2.svg', 'w') as f:
f.write(txt)
