cairocffi_to_pycairo doesn't work in fedora

On fedora (disclaimer: not usually a fedora user) - cairocffi_to_pycairo.py doesn’t seem to work

 $ python -c 'from cairocffi_to_pycairo.py import *'
[devel@b1e68ff9c787 utils]$ python -c 'from cairocffi_to_pycairo.py import *'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "cairocffi_to_pycairo.py", line 8, in <module>
    pycairo.PycairoContext_FromContext.restype = ctypes.c_void_p
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 373, in __getattr__
    func = self.__getitem__(name)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 378, in __getitem__
    func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))
AttributeError: /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so: undefined symbol: PycairoContext_FromContext

I’ve made a Dockerfile that can repro the issue https://github.com/stuaxo/docker-fedora-cairocffi-bug run ./build.sh then ./run.sh

Here is some code implementing the pycairo->cairocffi conversion using only the public API: https://github.com/pygobject/pycairo/issues/59#issuecomment-316442034

Feel free to use it under the cairocffi license.

Hello, what’s the status on this? I’m having a similar issue: PycairoContext_FromContext is not in the pycairo .so file - any ideas? My guess is that those functions are not used inside pycairo and thus optimized out?
