Have a look at python-cairo and python-rsvg. Rsvg on its own will render 
an svg (or any svg xml string passed, you can also specify by id) to an 
image.
Cairo comes in when you want to do more custom stuff. To get an actual 
image file out of rsvg ... I'm rusty, but you'd need a Cairo context 
that gets rendered-into (by rsvg) and then you'd save that context to a 
file.

OTOH, you can use Inkscape's command-line to fetch and render and chop 
and dice and flip and spin ....
