Hi,

The bz2 module is part of the standard library. The only reason I can 
think of why it would be missing is if the bzip2 libraries were not 
installed when you compiled Python.

Anyway, as far as I know pycairo can not be installed with 
distutils/pip. The tarballs have no setup.py file.

You will need either to find a pre-built/packaged distribution of 
pycairo, or to download the tarball yourself and follow the instructions 
in the INSTALL file.

I tried to build pycairo myself a few times and failed for various 
reasons. I use my linux distribution’s packages.

Regards,
