As I have not followed the discussion, my reply may be unhelpful...
From what I understand from the page
   http://www.cairographics.org/bindings/
the bindings are separate packages, which then also holds for pycairo.
Nix has a separate pycairo package, and we would need to add one.

The cairo package itself does not contain any bindings.

Python is used as a native input; maybe for tests? So I would expect both
python 2 and python 3 bindings to work with our cairo package.
