+with pycairo 1.4.12 and pygame 1.7.1 you get the error message:

+  File "./pygame-test1.py", line 42, in <module>
+    image = pygame.image.frombuffer(buf,(Width,Height),"ARGB",)
+TypeError: char buffer type not available
+
+This is because with
+    buf = surface.get_data()
+pycairo provides a binary image buffer,
+whereas with
+    image = pygame.image.frombuffer(buf,(Width,Height),"ARGB",)
+pygame is expecting a text-based character buffer!
