Hi All,

Been toying with plotting in python igraph, and have had a terrible time
getting py2cairo installed. Went to the cairo listserv, and sounds like
py2cairo is out of date and doesn't integrate well with cairo 1.10.

The alternative is cairocffi,  which implements the same interface (and can
be installed via pip). I tweaked my own code -- in three places changed
"import cairo" to "import cairocffi as cairo" -- and seems to be working
well, so I thought I'd mention it here. Also happy to make changes on
github if would be helpful.

Changes:
change "import cairo" to "import cariocffi as cairo" in:
igraph > drawing > graph.py > around line 39
igraph > drawing > text.py > around line 280
igraph > drawing > __init__.py > around line 36


and change "from cairo import LinearGradient" to "from cairocffi import
LinearGradient" in igraph > drawing > edges.py around line 12

Nick
