sdaps installation give pycairo location error

Question

I am trying to install sdaps but when i run setup.py install command it gives me following error:

kashif@crunchbang:~/sdaps-1.0.5$ python setup.py install
Package pycairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pycairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'pycairo' found

i tried to fix this by installing

kashif@crunchbang:~/sdaps-1.0.5$ sudo apt-get install python-cairo
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
python-cairo is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 148 not upgraded.

but again the same problem persists:

kashif@crunchbang:~/sdaps-1.0.5$ python setup.py install
Package pycairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pycairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'pycairo' found

Do you know what causes this problem?
