svgfig.Text() renders list representation of characters instead of string

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Sample code:
----
titleSVGTextElement = svgfig.Text(10, 10, "test").SVG()
parentOfCurrentElement.append(titleSVGTextElement)
----

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: Labeled SVG output with the word "test"
Observed: Labeled SVG output with the Python list __repr__ representation:
['t', 'e', 's', 't']

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.1.4 via Google Code


Please provide any additional information below.

I downloaded the source and changed the Text class's __init__ function here:

self.d. = list(d)

to

self.d = str(d)

I repeated this for the TextGlobal class.

I copied this version of svgfig.py into the Google Code 1.1.4 release, and
then recompiled via setup.py. 

This appeared to resolve the issue.
