[cairo] Fwd: Cairo 1.14 error on OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite

[suzuki toshiya]

I found that my latest Mac OS X (10.6 :-)) is capable
to check the new API, however, the bundled python is
too old (and i386) to work with homebrew cairo (most
developer tools are already designed for x86_64). I
have to start from homebrewing of Python, so it will
take longer than I expected... I'm sorry for that I
could not work in prompt time scale.
