Public bug reported:

upon getting Guake running after working around bug 1853698, I noticed
that Guake did not respond to the keypress to hide/show and was printing
this error to console at a rate of one line a second while the console
is shown:

TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'


Upon further googling, I found the hint to a workaround in 
https://github.com/rbgirshick/py-faster-rcnn/issues/221

where the package that is actually needed by guake is actually python3
-gi-cairo and not the python2 version mentioned in that article.
Installing this package made guake respond to the keypress for hide/show
and stop printing the error.

Again, I think this is a package metadata problem, like gir1.2-wnck-3.0,
python3-gi-cairo should be entered as a dependency of the guake package.

** Affects: guake (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- guake package does not tag python3-gi-cairo as a requirement
+ guake package does not tag python3-gi-cairo as a dependency
