Note that the DLLs for HarfBuzz and its deps must be found %PATH% on Windows so that pygobject is able to import and use HarfBuzz in Python scripts. Also note that for Visual Studio builds, it is recommended that Visual Studio 2019 or later is used for the build, possibly in regards with how the preprocessor handles C++ code when running g-ir-scanner.

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.
|
|
|
|
If you are building with Visual Studio, it is recommended that Visual Studio
|
|
2019 or later is used for this build, for the best build experience.
|
|
|
|
Compile and install.
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have the installation lib dir in `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` (or the
|
|
installation DLL dir in `PATH` for Windows systems), 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.
