SVG file with transform leads to inconsistency between viewBox and path coordinates

[g3grau]

I'm trying to read SVG files which were created with potrace using a scaling parameter -u 10. This results in a SVG with a transform group (translation 0, 0, scale 0.1, -0.1). I figured out that the path coordinates are all 10x larger than expected from reading the viewBox in svg_attributes, thus I wanted to get at least the information if a scale transform has been defined in the file. I could not find a way to extract this using the API and ended in an ugly index-search for "scale(" and the following ")" in str(svgpathtools.Document(file)) to get these numbers. Is there a more elegant way to get this transform info? I thought it might be a "group" since it's in a g tag, but I couldn't get Document(file).contains_group or get_group to work.

I have seen a fork which attempts to "flatten" the transform, but I think this has not been merged. Would it be an alternative
to transform the viewBox instead of the paths and add translate/scale items to svg_attributes?

I'm seeing this, too. The SVG has

<g transform="translate(0.000000,512.000000) scale(0.100000,-0.100000)">

Inkscape reports the coordinates as 0,0 to 1000,1000 but the segments returned by this library are in the range of 90.8, -4793.8 to 9901.1, 5028.2.
