  Description     : Pure-Python parser for Microsoft Visio files (.vsdx/.vsd)

libvisio-ng is a pure-Python library for parsing Microsoft Visio files
in both modern XML (.vsdx) and legacy binary (.vsd) formats. It
supports themes, gradients, shadows, hatching, connectors, master
shapes, NURBS, splines, embedded images, and layers.

It surpasses the C++ libvisio in feature coverage and is actively
maintained. It is a dependency of vsdview (ITP #1129371) and the
Inkscape Visio import extension.

There is no similar pure-Python Visio parser currently in Debian.
