How do I install Cairo binaries for Python

问题

I am trying to install Cairo for Python 2.7 in windows. I have installed igraph. There are binaries for this system on Christoph's site. I have downloaded the appropriate binary. How do I use pip to install the Cairo binary.

I worked on it and figured it out. Here are detailed instructions. They will work (with appropriate modifications for any binary Python package:

Installing Cairo in Python for Windows.

1. Go to site http://www.lfd.uci.edu, Chrisoph Gohlke’s site
2. Download the appropriate version of Cairo to your Download folder
3. Move the downloaded file from the Download folder to c:\Pythonxx\Scripts (xx is the version of Python)
4. Open a command window. Not the Python command window.
5. Enter cd c:\Pythonxx\Scripts. The system will give you a command line in that directory
6. Enter: pip install downloaded-file-name, for example pycairo-1.10.0-cp27-none-win32.whl
