No Module Named Cairo - Mac

Why is it so effin' hard? Seems to be an ever-present issue..solved unclearly. Searched on multiple github pages, advised to use import cairocffi as cairo instead, not working for

Solution 1:

import cairocffi as cairo did it at the end.

Had to install cairocffi, on top of all the manual reinstall. (I had brew install, Mac still accepted the install)

If you want to plot using igraph, no need to hassle with importing any of these libraries explicitly.
