+      As noted in the <xref linkend="integration-glib" /> section,
+      HarfBuzz uses a feature called <ulink

+      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>:

+      Do note, however, that the Python API is subject to change

+      may need to update your Python code.
