Trying to install pycaico using pip install pycario returns error that it needs cairo >=1.56. Only wheels available for cairo is 1.4 but a release for cairo at 1.16 is available. No pinwheel available for cairo 1.16 and we get failure on install of PyGObject that is calling min requirement indirectly via pycairo to cairo for the >1,56 version which can't be built since no wheel exist for cairo 1.16.
Internet shows everyone truing to work around issue but real issue is not being addressed. wheel pycairo needs updating to build cairo 1.16.
