The book's pycairo is 1.8.8, i.e it's an older version and
definitely for python2 (I used it when I did my initial gnome-3.2
builds). I accept your logic for a *newer* version of pycairo, but
I don't see any reason to put that in the book at the moment.
I can comment out pycairo so that whatever parts of the text are
still appropriate can be reused if the newer version gets into the
book.
