[Python] How to reliably compress/reduce SVG file size to a specific target limit (e.g., under...

I'm working with SVG files that need to be uploaded or used in a context with strict file size limitations (e.g., ensuring assets are under 10KB for performance reasons or due to platform constraints). My source SVGs vary significantly in complexity and initial file size, ranging from a few KBs to several hundred KBs.

My goal is to find a reliable method or process to take an arbitrary SVG file and reduce its file size to meet a specific target, like ensuring it's always below 10KB, while maintaining acceptable visual quality. The key challenge is achieving a predictable target size, not just general optimization.
