1To enable HarfBuzz bindings for Python among other languages, make sure 2you have latest version of gobject-introspection available. On Ubuntu, 3you can install that this way: 4 5```bash 6sudo apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev 7``` 8 9And then run `meson setup` and make sure that `Introspection` is reported 10enabled in output. 11 12Compile and install. 13 14Make sure you have the installation lib dir in `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, as needed 15for the linker to find the library. 16 17Then make sure you also have `GI_TYPELIB_PATH` pointing to the resulting 18`$prefix/lib/girepository-*` directory. 19 20Make sure you have pygobject installed. Then check that the following 21import works in your Python interpreter: 22 23```python 24from gi.repository import HarfBuzz 25``` 26 27If it does, you are ready to call HarfBuzz from Python! Congratulations. 28See [`src/sample.py`](src/sample.py). 29 30The Python API will change. Let us know on the mailing list if you are 31using it, and send lots of feedback. 32
