Skencil
Sketch is a vector drawing program similar to CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator. It is written almost completely in Python with some modules written in C, combining the flexibility and power of Python with the speed of C. Advanced features include gradient fills, clip masks, text along a path, blend groups, convert text to curves, and more.

works great!
I'm very happy with Sketch. It's particularly helpful that it has such a compete set of input and output filters. My only complaint is that it was difficult to install.
