As noted in the <xref linkend="integration-glib" /> section, |
|
|
|
|
HarfBuzz uses a feature called <ulink |
|
|
|
|
url="https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GObjectIntrospection">GObject |
|
|
|
|
Introspection</ulink> (GI) to provide bindings for Python. |

At compile time, the GI scanner analyzes the HarfBuzz C source |
|
|
|
|
and builds metadata objects connecting the language bindings to |
|
|
|
|
the C library. Your Python code can then use the HarfBuzz binary |
|
|
|
|
through its Python interface. |

HarfBuzz's Python bindings support Python 2 and Python 3. To use |
|
|
|
|
them, you will need to have the <literal>pygobject</literal> |
|
|
|
|
package installed. Then you should import |
|
|
|
|
<literal>HarfBuzz</literal> from |
|
|
|
|
<literal>gi.repository</literal>: |

and you can call HarfBuzz functions from Python. Sample code can |
|
|
|
|
be found in the <filename>sample.py</filename> script in the |
|
|
|
|
HarfBuzz <filename>src</filename> directory. |

Do note, however, that the Python API is subject to change |
|
|
|
|
without advance notice. GI allows the bindings to be |
|
|
|
|
automatically updated, which is one of its advantages, but you |
|
|
|
|
may need to update your Python code. |
