title: How do you install PyCairo (Cairo for Python) on Windows?
body: <p>I spent hours this afternoon trying to find a straightforward tutorial for installing PyCairo on Windows.</p>
  
  <p>The Cairo project itself does not maintain Windows binaries, they must be dowloaded elsehere (e.g. <a href="http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pycairo/" rel="noreferrer">http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pycairo/</a>).</p>
  
  <p>The process is also complicated further apparently by the fact that MSVC is apparently not a supported compiler for PyCairo (although the source patch is simple). See this bug report:</p>

  <p>Can anyone recommend a tutorial for installing PyCairo on Windows?</p>
