The problem is that you are writing a compressed PNG data file into the

string with raw pixel data.


I've lurked on the cairo list every once in awhile, I'm pretty sure
there is a way to get this type of string from the cairo surface.


I've found a thread[1] that turns into a discussion about more or less exactly what I want to do, but it appears no one ever actually got what I am trying to do to work. I couldn't find any way to write a "raw" PNG (if that is even what it is called) out with pycairo, though I am sure it is possible using cairo's C api.

I may hack around with the pycairo code a bit to see if I can add the
functionality myself.
