I spent hours this afternoon trying to find a straightforward tutorial for installing PyCairo on Windows.
The Cairo project itself does not maintain Windows binaries, they must be dowloaded elsehere (e.g. http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pycairo/).
The process is also complicated further apparently by the fact that MSVC is apparently not a supported compiler for PyCairo (although the source patch is simple). See this bug report:
https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22940
Can anyone recommend a tutorial for installing PyCairo on Windows?

cairocffi is a CFFI-based drop-in replacement for Pycairo, a set of Python bindings and object-oriented API for cairo. Cairo is a 2D vector graphics library with support for multiple backends including image buffers, PNG, PostScript, PDF, and SVG file output.
You should try windows binary installers from Gohlke repository for pyCairo and py2Cairo.
I never used pyCairo myself but took 4 minutes to install and get my first png example file done.
