I include an svg I created with matplotlib (see here how - at the bottom) using pyplot.savefig("test.svg") in my latex document. 

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{svg}

\begin{document}
\frame{
\includesvg[pdf,width=\textwidth]{test}
}
\frame{
{\Large\includesvg[eps,width=.5\textwidth]{test}}
}
\end{document}

Whatever I try, I cannot change the size of the fonts in the svg. Is it possible that way? What do I do wrong? I would rather like to use python etc. because using a gui like inkscape is for graphs not the method of choice.

As far as I understand the manual of the svg package, you need a special kind of svg file which has a text component. Inkscape can produce this kind of file, but probably not matplotlib. The svg manual says:

The work by Johan B. C. Engelen has further enhanced the ability of Inkscape to split an svg into a text component that can be imported into L A TEX, and an image component that can be imported as a pdf . 1 Consequently it is now possible to include an svg into a LaTeX document where the text within the svg has been rendered natively by LaTeX.
