Question #193989 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/193989

    Status: Open => Answered

Michael Leinartas proposed the following answer:
On CentOS 5 I've had the best luck using the shipped python2.4 (Graphite
is still 2.4 compatible) and installing dependencies from the upstream
repos and EPEL (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL). The CentOS base
repo has a version of pycairo that works with graphite.

If you still want to continue with python2.7 and pip, it looks like pycairo split their python2 support into the py2cairo package..however, pip doesn't have a py2cairo package available. Instead, try using the version just before the split: 1.8.8 (or an older one):
pip install pycairo==1.8.8
