Developing plugin to process notes from Sony PRS-T1: no module named

Hi all,

I'm developing a Calibe plugin to import/export notes from a Sony PRS-T1 device. My first goal is to be able to "merge" handwritten annotations with the original pdf, using the "cairo" and "rsvg" libraries.

The user interface and SQLite bits are in place, but I can't seem to do "import cairo" or "import rsvg" in my plugin, because Calibre will tell me:

File "calibre_plugins.prst1_notes.PRST1NotesPDFMergeInt erface", line 6, in <module>
ImportError: No module named cairo
However, the cairo and rsvg python libraries are in place on my system (Ubuntu 11.10), and working for other (standalone) Python applications.

I tried calibre-debug, same result:
Quote:
$ calibre-debug -c "import cairo"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site.py", line 58, in main
File "site-packages/calibre/debug.py", line 216, in main
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named cairo
Am I overlooking something? I'm running Python 2.7.2.

Many thanks for your help!
