<p>
      As noted in the <a class="xref" href="integration.html#integration-glib" title="GNOME integration, GLib, and GObject">the section called “GNOME integration, GLib, and GObject”</a> section,
      HarfBuzz uses a feature called <a class="ulink" href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GObjectIntrospection" target="_top">GObject
      Introspection</a> (GI) to provide bindings for Python.
    </p>
<p>
      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.
    </p>
<p>
      HarfBuzz's Python bindings support Python 2 and Python 3. To use
      them, you will need to have the <code class="literal">pygobject</code>
      package installed. Then you should import
      <code class="literal">HarfBuzz</code> from
      <code class="literal">gi.repository</code>: 
    </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
      from gi.repository import HarfBuzz
    </pre>
<p>
      and you can call HarfBuzz functions from Python. Sample code can
      be found in the <code class="filename">sample.py</code> script in the
      HarfBuzz <code class="filename">src</code> directory.
    </p>
<p>
      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.
