If this is a one-off job consider creating Postscript from the underlying
Canvas:
>>> import turtle
>>> for i in range(12):
... turtle.forward(100)
... turtle.left(150)
...
>>> turtle.getcanvas().postscript(file="tmp_turtle.ps")
[...]
Then convert to SVG with an external tool. It looks like ghostscript can do
that:
$ gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=svg -sOutputFile=tmp_turtle.svg tmp_turtle.ps
