Hi,
I've been searching for the correct package to download and install.
What I need is for the cairo.svg package to be available in Python.
Currently I get:
>>> import cairo
>>> import cairo.svg
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named svg
>>>
I want to use Cairo to render SVG to PNG within my program. See for
example the snippet at http://trac-hacks.swapoff.org/ticket/737 for an
example of the kind of thing I want to do.
I'm running Debian "Etch" / "Stable", which has the following packages
installed (note the versions -- how current are these and when was the
svg sub-package added?)
ii libcairo2 1.6.4-1+b1
ii libcairo2-dev 1.6.4-1+b1
ii libcairo2-doc 1.6.4-1
ii libmono-cairo1.0-ci 1.2.2.1-1etch1
ii libsvg-cairo1 0.1.6-5
ii libsvg-cairo1-dev 0.1.6-5
ii python-cairo 1.4.12-1
ii python-cairo-dev 1.4.12-1
These are also the latest packages that I can find with apt-cache, so I
suspect that there aren't newer ones in the archive. Is that the problem?
Or do I need a different package entirely?
If I need to do a source installation to get this, I'd like to figure
out what package I need.
Thanks!
Terry
