svglib doesn't remove temporary files properly?

[wgundamj44]

When using svglib on svgs that have images, we found the disk size keeps growing up. The culprit is the temporary files created by this method xlink_href_target.

This line https://github.com/deeplook/svglib/blob/main/svglib/svglib.py#L701 mentioned the temporary files needs to be removed later, but I didn't find the place where they got removed.

Did I miss something or the removal is really missing?

Thank you for raising your first issue! Your help to improve svglib is much appreciated!

It's totally possible the file is never removed. Any implementation suggestion is welcome.

I think instead of creating a temporary file here https://github.com/deeplook/svglib/blob/main/svglib/svglib.py#L695, maybe it can create a PIL.Image instead. From what I read, reportlab.graphcis.renderPDF.drawImage can accept PIL.Image in new versions.
