I’m all for distributions including cairocffi (though I can’t maintain 
the packages myself), but it’s not quite a complete replacement for 
pycairo. In particular, there is no C API:

http://www.cairographics.org/documentation/pycairo/3/pycairo_c_api.html


There are workarounds if you need to work with stuff that uses pycairo’s 
C API, like PyGTK or PyGObject-introspection:

> Should the cairo website be recommending cairocffi

I’m not opposed to that either :)
