My apology for writing back to a very old message, but I am running into this problem below again. I added the python homebrew to my path but still grabbing the system's package

Here is my path:

PATH="${PATH}"

export PATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PATH

when checking "which python" i get /usr/bin/python not the brew one.

Obviously I am still unable to get it up and running again :-(

FWIW, I managed to run “brew install py2cairo” without having to install a brew-based Python. I simply added “/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages” on my Python path and it imports the cairo module just fine.

This seems to be confirmed by Homebrew’s wiki:

“If you have a brewed python, then the bindings are installed for that one. But if you don't have a brewed Python, Homebrew basically just uses the first python (and python-config) in your PATH. Check that by which python.”

https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Homebrew-and-Python#homebrew-provided-python-bindings

So, basically, I think you simply have to add /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages to your PYTHONPATH and you should be fine.
