1*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerTo enable HarfBuzz bindings for Python among other languages, make sure 2*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Workeryou have latest version of gobject-introspection available. On Ubuntu, 3*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Workeryou can install that this way: 4*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 5*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker```bash 6*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Workersudo apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev 7*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker``` 8*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 9*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerAnd then run `meson setup` and make sure that `Introspection` is reported 10*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerenabled in output. 11*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 12*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerIf you are building with Visual Studio, it is recommended that Visual Studio 13*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker2019 or later is used for this build, for the best build experience. 14*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 15*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerCompile and install. 16*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 17*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerMake sure you have the installation lib dir in `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` (or the 18*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerinstallation DLL dir in `PATH` for Windows systems), as needed 19*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerfor the linker to find the library. 20*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 21*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThen make sure you also have `GI_TYPELIB_PATH` pointing to the resulting 22*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker`$prefix/lib/girepository-*` directory. 23*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 24*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerMake sure you have pygobject installed. Then check that the following 25*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerimport works in your Python interpreter: 26*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 27*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker```python 28*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerfrom gi.repository import HarfBuzz 29*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker``` 30*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 31*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerIf it does, you are ready to call HarfBuzz from Python! Congratulations. 32*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerSee [`src/sample.py`](src/sample.py). 33*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 34*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe Python API will change. Let us know on the mailing list if you are 35*2d1272b8SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerusing it, and send lots of feedback. 36
