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
