Where to find/download lib rsvg for python on OSX

Question

I'm looking to use the python library rsvg for converting an SVG graphic to other formats (mainly PDF) and cannot seem to find the python-librsvg source to download and install on Mac OSX anywhere. Any help?

I've finally found it. It's buried in a Macports package called gnome-python-desktop:

$ sudo port install gnome-python-desktop

Everything I can find suggests it is available nowhere else. Both this and this page say it is wrapped up in GNOME Desktop and is not stand-alone. Same deal on Linux (in Ubuntu the name of the package is python-gnome2-desktop). There is a package on GitHub that looks a bit more lightweight, but it is Windows-only.

I also discovered something else disturbing: this module hasn't been updated since 2005. So if possible, it would be best to stay well away from it. :-/
