Pycairo vs. cairocffi vs. Qahirah

QUESTION

Pycairo vs. cairocffi vs. Qahirah

Asked 2022-Mar-16 at 11:43

I want to create and rasterize vector graphics in Python. I suspect that Pycairo or cairocffi (edit: or Qahirah) are a great choice. (If not, comments are welcome.)

What are the practical differences between the two?

Specifically, the Pycairo documentation says:

If Pycairo is not what you need, have a look at cairocffi, which is an API compatible package using cffi or Qahirah, which is using ctypes and provides a more "pythonic" API with less focus on matching the cairo C API.

But this raises some questions: In what cases may Pycairo be "not what you need", whereas cairocffi is? In what way are cffi/Qahirah/ctypes better than whatever Pycairo does instead? In what ways is Pycairo not "pythonic"? If cairocffi is better than Pycairo, why is Pycairo more popular, does it have advantages?

Edit: A comma might be missing after "cffi" in the quote above. In that case, it's not about "Pycairo vs. cairocffi", but about "Pycairo vs. cairocffi vs. Qahirah".

Mimicking the C API closely means that functions take simple arguments. As an example, the move_to function/method looks like this:
