How to create a letter spacing attribute with pycairo?

Looks like this issue was already solved, using pycairo 1.20.0 and PyGObject 3.40.1:

import cairo
import gi
gi.require_version('Pango', '1.0')
gi.require_version('PangoCairo', '1.0')
from gi.repository import Pango, PangoCairo

width, height = 328, 48

surface = cairo.ImageSurface(cairo.FORMAT_ARGB32, width, height)
context = cairo.Context(surface)
layout = PangoCairo.create_layout(context)

font_desc = Pango.font_description_from_string('Sans, 40px')
layout.set_font_description(font_desc)

letter_spacing_attr = Pango.attr_letter_spacing_new(1024 * 10)

attr_list = Pango.AttrList()
attr_list.insert(letter_spacing_attr)
layout.set_attributes(attr_list)

layout.set_text('Hello World')

PangoCairo.show_layout(context, layout)

with open('help-me.png', 'wb') as image_file:
    surface.write_to_png(image_file)
