我发现这里有一个关于类似事情的老问题：
如何在Windows上安装PyCairo（Python的Cairo）？
由于是2012年发布的，我猜它已经过时了。
我正在尝试在我的Windows 7 64位笔记本电脑上安装pycairo，我已经安装了Python 3.6.3。如果有用的话，我还安装了最新的setuptools。
我遇到了下面的错误。
C:\Programs\Python36>python

由于我对Python及其所有内容都很陌生，这听起来对我来说太多了。据我所知，pycairo不是一个纯Python包，因此需要Visual C++ 14编译器（我刚从这里安装了它：http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools，我选择了2015版本）。
但是，当我运行pip install pycairo命令时，仍然遇到相同的问题。
- 这不是任何东西的重复。
- 你是说我试图做的事情是不可能的，我应该使用cayrocffi吗？如果是这样，那就是一个解决方法，所以我的问题不是重复的。对吧？另外，如果是这样，简单地说一下这两者有什么不同？cayrocffi是cayro的某种包装器吗？
