I disliked the implementation (undocumented, closed source SWIG bindings 
are largely unusable), so I wrote my own using Pyrex. I call it, 
unimaginatively, ABCGI, A Better CoreGraphics Interface. It is part of 
Kiva, Enthought's graphics library, and has served as "ground truth" for 
the other backends.

When I get some time, I'll break it out as a separate package.
