I resolved the problem in my own pragmatic way. Here are the steps I used. My guess is that they would work for anything on Christoph's site.
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 DOS command window. The Python command window doesn't seem to work 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 On Wed Feb 04 2015 at 2:58:59 AM Tamas Nepusz <[email protected]> wrote: > > When I go to the igraph page and try the link to the MSI installers > (Python > > Package Index) I get "not found" > I haven't managed to prepare MSI installers yet for python-igraph 0.7 so > they > are not on PyPI.
