Re: [matplotlib-devel] SVG export mangled

I see what is happening here...  The SVG backend was recently re-written 
to write some of the path data in C -- unfortunately the numbers being 
written there are locale-aware, and in your locale it appears to be 
using ',' as a decimal point.

I put up a fix for this here:

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/369

In the meantime, you may have some luck by setting your locale before 
running python, i.e.:

   LANG=en_US.UTF-8 python svg_export2.py

Cheers,
Mike
