I have so many bits and pieces of Python code to modify Synfig files that I put them together into a library. This is the first release: sangfroid version 0.1 liverpool.
The easiest way to install it is pip install sangfroid. There is documentation at RTD.
As a demonstration which is also useful, installing sangfroid gives you a script called bywords which times the appearance of words in an animation based on a subtitle file, thus:

sangfroid isn’t perfect but it does the things I need to do. Thus, development may stop here, excepting bug fixes. But if anyone’s interested in helping, we can develop it further.

Sangfroid 0.2 submarine released. Probably the first actually usable version. Go to the release page to grab a copy, or use python -m pip install sangfroid.
Changelog:
Group.append() and Group.insert() allow you to add new layers to a group.
Iterating over Groups gives the layers within that group. Iterating over any other sort of Layer gives nothing. Groups can be indexed with integers, which give you the layers in order. This is a breaking change; previously it iterated over the fields of the Layer, which is rarely something you want to do.
The “desc” field of non-Animation layers can be None, which means there is no description. This differs from a description which is the empty string. This brings us into compliance with Synfig.
Fixed bug preventing instantiation of classes which contained a field with a default value specified in seconds. (See commit 24f19aba.)
Fixed bug preventing update of values in Transformation layers.
Text layers can be constructed by giving the string they are to contain.
Documentation improved a bit.
