I've been wondering about that -- it doesn't look terribly maintained -- 
no updates for a long time, and I'm concerned about performance 99 if 
you are drawing something simple, but with lot's of points, all that 
conversion from numpy types to python type to C types is going to be an 
issue.

this is definitely slow for what I'm doing.
