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 `autogen.sh` (if building from git), and then:
```bash
./configure --with-gobject --enable-introspection
```
Make sure that gobject-introspection is reported enabled then in the `configure` script 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.
