Also this svgwrite is the only module that needs to be imported and then you can deal with this module.
See this simple example:
import svgwrite
from svgwrite import *
#this will work with svgwrite
svg_doc = svgwrite.Drawing(filename = "test-svgwrite.svg",\
                                size = ("30px", "30px"))\
svg_doc.add(svg_doc.rect(insert = (0, 0),\
                                   size = ("20px", "20px"),\
                                   stroke_width = "1",\
                                   stroke = "green",\
                                   fill = "rgb(255,255,0)"))\
print(svg_doc.tostring())
svg_doc.save()
The result of this python script is this SVG file.

If you use the dir() then you can see more about this python module:
>>> dir(svgwrite)
['AUTHOR_EMAIL', 'AUTHOR_NAME', 'CYEAR', 'Drawing', 'Hz', 'Unit', 'VERSION', '__
builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__p
ackage__', '__path__', '__spec__', 'animate', 'base', 'cm', 'container', 'data',
 'deg', 'drawing', 'elementfactory', 'em', 'etree', 'ex', 'filters', 'grad', 'gr
adients', 'image', 'inch', 'kHz', 'masking', 'mixins', 'mm', 'params', 'path', '
pattern', 'pc', 'percent', 'pt', 'px', 'rad', 'rgb', 'shapes', 'text', 'utils',
'validator2', 'version']
For example you can add some text:
svg_doc.add(svg_document.text("This add new svg text",\
                                   insert = (10, 10)))
