New Python library to modify Synfig files: sangfroid 0.1

I didn’t test it though.

SIF file format is described here: Synfig File Format (.sif) — Synfig developers docs documentation and here Sif Format - Synfig Animation Studio (old).

If you need examples, Veer Metri made some plugins, posted here on forums and keep them in its Github account: veermetri05 (Veer Metri) · GitHub
