pycairo-1.8.8 is the older version of py2cairo-1.10.0. It is the python 2 version of pycairo. pycairo-1.10.0 is the python 3 version of cairo. py2cairo-1.10.0 works fine for me. My problem wasn't with the GUI, it was with the network configuration. It seems bizarre to me that it can't read the files in /proc or /sys or use some simple commands to work out what wireless interfaces are available. But once configured it remembers the settings and it will work in the future.
