I can't say.  But the couple of posts I saw made me think that this
may have come from the "Cygwin Ports" site.  I did find a "python-cairo"
package there.  Perhaps that's what you're looking for?

Keep in mind that the "Cygwin Ports" site contains packages that are
_not_ currently part of the distribution.  Use at your own peril. ;-)
