pycairo: justify text-align

I use python bindings to Cairo to render text.

My question is: Is it possible to render a string using something like text-align: justify? Suppose I have fixed width and I want to print a paragraph.

Solved [using pangocairo]:

import pygtk
import cairo
import pango
import pangocairo
...
layout = pangocairo_context.create_layout()
...
layout.set_width(...)
layout.set_wrap(pango.WRAP_WORD)
layout.set_justify(True)
layout.set_text(text)
