Pycairo is the binding for the cairo graphics library.It's also not something you can get running with a simple pip install py2cairo.After many hours of working the search engines and dancing to the configure/make/make install melody, I figured out an answer that worked for me.

| 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. |
| If PyGTK or Numeric Python are detected optional modules will be compiled. |
| However, if PyGTK >= 2.7.0 is detected then cairo.gtk is not built since |
| pycairo is now supported directly by PyGTK. |
| To disable PyGTK support use: |
| $ ./configure --without-pygtk |
| Install method2 - alternative install method |
| --------------- |
| 1. Untar the .tar.gz file |
| 2. cd into the resulting directory |
| 3. python setup.py install |
