I doubt the source would provide improved answeres but if you think you need the code I can post a link to pastebin or something.

What I have tried:

Ive tryed cairosvg but I just got a bunch of errors so I might be doing it all wrong, the documentation were insufficent for me.
I also checked pycairo but I didnt understand the installation procedure...

1. Should it be a one-time convert?
2. Show your code and errors...

Your problems are related to the fact that you are using Windows. While there are multiple libraries and tools to perform the conversion with Linux (including Python wrappers), these may be not available for Windows or difficult to setup.

The simplest solution would be calling a command line tool from within Python (os.system or subprocess.call). One candidate providing ready to use Windows executables would be ImageMagick: Install from Binary Distribution[^]. You can also use the Windows version of Inkscape[^] which provides command line options for conversions without starting the GUI.
