| To enable HarfBuzz bindings for Python among other languages, make sure |
| you have latest version of gobject-introspection available. On Ubuntu, |
| you can install that this way: |
| |
| ```bash |
| sudo apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev |
| ``` |
| |
| And then run `meson setup` and make sure that `Introspection` is reported |
| enabled in output. |
| |
| Compile and install. |
| |
| Make sure you have the installation lib dir in `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, as needed |
| for the linker to find the library. |
| |
| Then make sure you also have `GI_TYPELIB_PATH` pointing to the resulting |
| `$prefix/lib/girepository-*` directory. |
| |
| Make sure you have pygobject installed. Then check that the following |
| import works in your Python interpreter: |
| |
| ```python |
| from gi.repository import HarfBuzz |
| ``` |
| |
| If it does, you are ready to call HarfBuzz from Python! Congratulations. |
| See [`src/sample.py`](src/sample.py). |
| |
| The Python API will change. Let us know on the mailing list if you are |
| using it, and send lots of feedback. |
