I don't know if 2.6 modules are compatible with 2.5, but doesn't hurt to try: the py2geom stuff should have landed in your /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages folder. Just copy it over to a dir in your Python 2.5 sys.path (like site-packages), and you should be set.</p> <p>Regarding the API reference, there's not a lot of info around, but you can find doxygen-based docs in the 2geom source, as well as a LaTeX manual that can be compiled to PDF. I'd say the best way would be to check out the lib2geom Jabber channel over at conference.gristle.org and voicing your questions -- that's what i've been doing so far, the people over there are unbelievably friendly and helpful.</p> <p>Also, i've found most of the API using ipython and command completion, so i'd suggest tinkering away :)</p> Hmm, i got it working fine under both Python 2.5 and 2.6.

Also, i’ve found most of the API using ipython and command completion, so i’d suggest tinkering away :)
