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

26using it, and send lots of feedback.
