+Q: Can I subclass pycairo classes?
+A: Cairo, the C library, is not an object oriented library, so a Python
+binding can never be a truly object oriented interface to cairo.  One way to
+write the Python bindings for cairo would be as a single long list of module
+functions - this would be the most accurate representation of the underlying C
 library. Pycairo (and most other cairo language bindings?) instead chose to
 implement the bindings using Context, Surface, Pattern, etc classes.  An
 advantage is that the classes organise cairo into groups of similar functions.

 cairo.Context can be subclassed.
 All other pycairo subclasses cannot be subclassed.

+Q: Where is the pycairo documentation?
+A: The documentation has not been written or generated yet.  The Python cairo
+bindings follow the underlying C API quite closely, so the C documentation can
+be used. It would be quite a long and tedious task to write Pycairo
+documentation from scratch; and it would essentially involve duplicating most
+of the C documentation. Another approach would be to take the existing C
+documentation and generate Python documentation from it, and just edit bits to
+make it Python-specific.  If anyone knows a good way to do this then any
+contributions would be welcome ...
