[cairo] PyCairo on Mac OS X

[Dane Springmeyer]

Did you accidentally name some python file 'cairo.py' that is also on  
your import path?

To confirm that '>>> import cairo' is really getting the pycairo  
module find the path to it:

import cairo
cairo.__file__

and make sure that points to the right thing (a cairo directory with  
an __init__.py and _cairo.so file within it).
