The way I was able to install it is by getting the development version of py2cairo by: git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/py2cairo then ./autogen.sh, make and make install It is a workaround but at this point I am not sure if anyone is actually working on fixing the latest release py2cairo-1.10.0 for python 2.x (>=2.6) 2011/05/01 in order to use waf.
