Thanks! Glad to hear it!

Turns out with QGraphicsScene it's actually pretty easy.
Try replacing the MainWindow.export() method in mw.py with this:
def export(self):
for pynguin in self.pynguins:
pynguin.gitem.hide()
from PyQt4 import QtSvg
svgen = QtSvg.QSvgGenerator()
svgen.setFileName('test.svg')
svgen.setSize(QtCore.QSize(500, 500))
svgen.setViewBox(QtCore.QRect(-250, -250, 500, 500))
svgen.setTitle('Test SVG Output')
svgen.setDescription('PyQt SVG Generator')
painter = QtGui.QPainter(svgen)
self.scene.render(painter)
painter.end()
for pynguin in self.pynguins:
pynguin.gitem.show()
It's just a proof-of-concept, but it definitely works.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will look at adding that
option for the next release.
