The release appears to include both a C/Tcl/TK version and a C++/Python version of at least part. "The code hopefully serves as a good example of how to use SWIG to integrate C++ classes into Python and Cairo, in a portable cross platform way that works on Linux and Windows." I have not gotten the code yet. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
