They work well together

image.LoadFromPixels(WIDTH, HEIGHT, surface.get_data())
# and we are done.
sprite = sf.Sprite(image)
sprite.SetPosition(100, 100)

while running:

while window.GetEvent(event):

Ugly as a very ugly thing, but it works
There isn't SVG support in PyCairo unfortunately (except for writing an SVG file). The format states it's ARGB but it seems to work without problem. I wrote the image to an SVG file and the output was the same.
