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/

$ py.test
