How do I render *parts* of a svg file?

Question

I want to render parts of a svg file by name but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do so (using python + gtk).

Here\'s the svg file in question: http://d

Grave-digging a little bit here, but the answer by ptomato from 2010 also works now in 2019 for Gtk3 with some slight modifications. The below code will render only the 3 of diamonds svg id.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
gi.require_version('Rsvg', '2.0')

from gi.repository import Gtk, Rsvg

svg = Rsvg.Handle.new_from_file('svg-cards.svg')

pixbuf = svg.get_pixbuf_sub('#3_diamond')

image = Gtk.Image()
image.set_from_pixbuf(pixbuf)
image.show()

window = Gtk.Window()
window.set_title("Foo")
window.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)
window.show()
window.add(image)

Gtk.main()
