batch conversion svg to dxf through command line?

Postby Robin » Sat Dec 19, 2009 2:00 am

Hi
I'm currently looking to find a way of converting a whole folder of svgs into dxfs.
Inkscape does it wonderfully, but I need to automate it.
I have a python routine that batch processes jpgs and calls Potrace to filter and trace the content and turn them into svg.
Would it be possible to call Inkscape on the command line from an extension of my .py, to do this job?
At present I can't actually see how to run Inkscape manually from command line or indeed save to dxf through this route.
Can anyone help?
Best
Robin
