Waf - recommended install method
---
$ ./waf --help  # shows available waf options
$ ./waf configure
$ ./waf build
$ ./waf install


GNU Autotools - alternative install 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.


Python distutils - alternative install method
----------------
$ python setup.py install


Testing
-------
testing uses py.test from pylib
http://codespeak.net/py/dist/

$ cd test
$ py.test
