1 To enable HarfBuzz bindings for Python among other languages, make sure 2 you have latest version of gobject-introspection compiled, and then 3 run autogen.sh (if building from git), and then: 4 5 ./configure --with-gobject --enable-introspection 6 7 Make sure that gobject-introspection is enabled then in the final report. 8 9 Compile and install. 10 11 Make sure you have the installation lib dir in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, as needed 12 for the linker to find the library. 13 14 Then make sure you also have GI_TYPELIB_PATH pointing to the resulting 15 $prefix/lib/girepository-* directory. 16 17 Make sure you have pygobject installed. Then check that the following 18 import works in your Python interpretter: 19 20 from gi.repository import HarfBuzz 21 22 If it does, you are ready to call HarfBuzz from Python! Congratulations. 23 See src/sample.py. 24 25 The Python API will change. Let us know on the mailing list if you are 26 using it, and send lots of feedback. 27
