[Freewx-maint] Bug#884411: python-wxgtk3.0: Cairo widgets fail after apt upgrade

Package: python-wxgtk3.0
Version: 3.0.2.0+dfsg-5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I just updated the Debian testing (apt log see below).
Since then, Cairo widgets in wxPython applications are broken. Most show a
white background instead of their intended content.

This includes the wxPython demo. When starting the wxCairo part, the following
error message shows up:

$ ./demo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Cairo.py", line 33, in OnPaint
    self.Render(dc)
  File "Cairo.py", line 47, in Render
    ctx = wx.lib.wxcairo.ContextFromDC(dc)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-3.0-gtk2/wx/lib/wxcairo.py", line
137, in ContextFromDC
    ctx = pycairoAPI.Context_FromContext(ctxptr, pycairoAPI.Context_Type, None)
AttributeError: 'Pycairo_CAPI' object has no attribute 'Context_FromContext'
../src/gtk/dcclient.cpp(250): assert "Assert failure" failed in wxFreePoolGC():

../src/gtk/dcclient.cpp(250): assert "Assert failure" failed in wxFreePoolGC():

../src/gtk/dcclient.cpp(250): assert "Assert failure" failed in wxFreePoolGC():

../src/gtk/dcclient.cpp(250): assert "Assert failure" failed in wxFreePoolGC():
Wrong GC


The bug renders packages such as pyspread unusable, which has already caused
the bug report #883741.

Since downgrading python-wxgtk3.0 did not solve the issue, I suspect packages
that python-wxgtk3.0 depends on.
