Pycairo is a Python module providing bindings for the `cairo graphics library
<https://cairographics.org/>`__. It depends on **cairo >= 1.13.1** and
works with **Python 2.7+** as well as **Python 3.3+**. Pycairo, including this
documentation, is licensed under the **LGPLv2.1** as well as the **MPLv1.1**.
The Pycairo bindings are designed to match the cairo C API as closely as
possible, and to deviate only in cases which are clearly better implemented in
a more ‘Pythonic’ way.
Features of the Pycairo bindings:
* Provides an object oriented interface to cairo.
* Queries the error status of objects and translates them to exceptions.
* Provides a C API that can be used by other Python extensions.

context = cairo.Context(surface)
x, y, x1, y1 = 0.1, 0.5, 0.4, 0.9
x2, y2, x3, y3 = 0.6, 0.1, 0.9, 0.5
context.scale(200, 200)
context.set_line_width(0.04)
context.move_to(x, y)
context.curve_to(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3)
context.stroke()
context.set_source_rgba(1, 0.2, 0.2, 0.6)

If Pycairo is not what you need, have a look at `cairocffi
<https://cairocffi.readthedocs.io>`__, which is an API compatible package
using `cffi <https://cffi.readthedocs.io/>`__ or `Qahirah
<https://github.com/ldo/qahirah>`__, which is using `ctypes
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html>`__ and provides a more
"pythonic" API with less focus on matching the cairo C API.
