Ok, if you are on a Mac or Linux machine, try this in a shell:
traceroute 216.81.59.173
If you're on Windows, open a command prompt and use tracert. Give it a bit - the payoff is worth it :)

Cincom's Product Manager, Arden Thomas, had this to say in a VW-Dev list discussion today:
Just to note, we will likely NOT be moving the current CairoGraphics implemenation into production, but we ARE planning on big graphics ability improvements.
So it sounds like you're going to be on your own with the current Cairo implementation - but something interesting is coming down the pike....

Today's Python 4 You looks at String library functions, and where to get information on that. One of the things this illustrates is the differences between Python 2.x and Python 3.x - when looking things up, you need to be careful about the documentation you are looking at. It's all clearly labeled, but it's easy to not pay attention. Having said that, the documentation referenced in this screencast can be found here and here.
