[cairo] PyCairo on Mac OS X

[Elver Loho]

It would appear that I've not named anything cairo.py by accident, but
that was a good guess -- I've had that problem before :)

YellowTracksuit:src elver$ python
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jul  7 2009, 23:51:51)

>>> import cairo
>>> dir(cairo)
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__',
'__package__', '__path__']
>>> cairo.__file__
'/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pycairo-1.8.8-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg/cairo/__init__.pyc'

Best,
