RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

[DSuveges]

I'm generating svg images in a python code that I want to convert into png, but it fails. I could pinpoint that the problem is because of the use of the 'defs', 'g' and 'use' tags. I'm not sure if these tags are supported or something else goes wrong.

I have the following code:

svg_string = """<svg width="100" height="100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<defs>
<g id="square">
<rect x="0" y="0" width="20" height="20"  style="stroke-width:1;stroke:cornflowerblue; fill: firebrick" />
</g>
</defs>
<use x="50" y="50" href="#square"/>
</svg>"""

cairosvg.svg2png(svg_string, write_to='test.png')

The output:

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

If I save it into the an svg file, all the browsers can plot it properly. Cairosvg works fine on svg strings that don't have defs and use tags. Do you have any idea how I could tackle this issue? It would be quite important to use these tags...

A minimal reproducible example:

import os
os.environ['path'] += r';C:\Program Files\Inkscape\bin' # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46265677/get-cairosvg-working-in-windows
import cairosvg

svg_string = '''
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="10" height="10">
    <use width="1" height="1"/>
</svg>
'''

try:
    x = cairosvg.svg2png(bytestring=svg_string)
except RecursionError:
    print("Caught a RecursionError!")
