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 |
