image scaling in cairo, python

hi all,

i've heard cairo has become the image scling library for firefox3. is
that true? wonderful, i want to do that in python. there's a python
interface for cairo, right? i've used it before to do simple vector
stuff. seems to work. however, i haven't been able to find relevant
pointers via google.

so do you have any pointers on how to resize a raster image with
python using cairo? i've been jumping through hoops for a while now,
and i believe it should be easier.

cheers and ~flow
