I'm a fan of Graphviz and how it helps in creating visual representations of dependencies in software packages. However, I'm specifically searching for a fully open-source Python module that can convert .dot files into SVG or PNG images without relying on any external Graphviz software. Does anyone know of any reliable and actively maintained libraries that can achieve this?

It sounds like you're asking for a way to use Graphviz's functionality without actually installing Graphviz itself. If installing it locally is a big hassle for you, one workaround could be to set up a small web service that processes your .dot files and returns the rendered images.
I really appreciate the .dot format too! But just to clarify, I'm looking for a solution that stays within the Python ecosystem and avoids any non-Python dependencies.
