+Install method1 - preferred method
+---------------
+Using the same install method of install as cairo - GNU autotools.
+
+    $ python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix"
+      # make a note of the python prefix
+    $ ./configure --prefix=<python_prefix>
+    $ make
+    $ make install       # may require superuser access
+
+To build from CVS, use this line instead of the configure line above:
+    $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=<python_prefix>
+
+If you're installing to another prefix than the one where Python is installed
+Python will not be able to find the cairo module until you add
+$prefix/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages to the PYTHONPATH variable.
+
+
+Install method2 - alternative install method
+---------------
+    1. Untar the .tar.gz file
+    2. cd into the resulting directory
+    3. python setup.py install
+
+
+Testing
+-------
+testing uses py.test from pylib
+http://codespeak.net/py/dist/
+
+$ cd test
+$ py.test
