The package got registered by the previous maintainer and at that time
pypi did not host all tarballs themselves and fetched them from
cairographics instead. Nowadays pypi no longer redirects to external
hosting and so the pypi entry still exists, but the installation
fails.

And because the previous maintainer can't be contacted the package
can't be updated.

You can use the following until this is resolved:

pip3 install https://github.com/pygobject/pycairo/releases/download/v1.13.3/pycairo-1.13.3.tar.gz
