Have installed Mapnik and Python but on running the python demo get the message

Pycairo not available...will render Cairo formats using alternative method.

After that python crashes. I have installed Python 2.7 and it is working from both command line and Windows GUI, I have downloaded and placed Cairo 1.12.2 and pycairo 1.10.0 at the root of C:\ and added these to the path.

Has anyone else has been in this situation and found a fix?...

Refer to Pycairo not available #2531 which is opened 26 days ago,

"You are not doing anything wrong - instead you are hitting a limitation in the packages. Mapnik - to work with pycairo - requires having its python bindings compiled against pycairo headers."

and

Remove pycairo usage from rundemo.py #2533 in commit
