Module Functions and Constants

.. currentmodule:: cairo

Module Functions

.. function:: cairo_version()

   :returns: the encoded version
   :rtype: int

   Returns the version of the underlying C cairo library, encoded in a single
   integer.


.. function:: cairo_version_string()

   :returns: the encoded version
   :rtype: str

   Returns the version of the underlying C cairo library as a human-readable
   string of the form "X.Y.Z".


.. function:: get_include()

Other Classes and Functions

This type only exists for documentation purposes. It represents :obj:`python:str`/:obj:`python:unicode` under Python 2 and :obj:`python3:str` under Python 3.

This type only exists for documentation purposes.

On Unix it is equal to what Python allows as a filesystem path. On Windows with cairo <=1.15.8 only ANSI paths are supported. With cairo >=1.15.10 all paths are supported as long as they don't contain surrogates.

Many functions taking a path also allow passing in an already open Python file object. This can be used to support all Python filesystem paths independent of the underlying platform or cairo version.

.. versionadded:: 1.15.1
    Older versions only supported a subset of :obj:`str` paths
