Both comments from Alex are wrong...
freetype-py has its own versioning, it is confusing, but 2.4.0 is current:
https://github.com/rougier/freetype-py/releases
And has its init hook too:
https://github.com/rougier/freetype-py/blob/master/freetype/__init__.py
I think that the python load path of the initial poster is wrong. Ie. You are
not loading freetype-py, but something else which happens to have a
"freetype.py" file, for example. It could be his own code - if he has a file
called freetype.py himself, that would be loaded instead of the (system-wide)
freetype-py package. Quite a common mistake, to have all user code interacting
with freetype-py in a new file called "freetype.py" (in the current directory),
or a user file "skia.py" to interact with skia-python, etc.

I have bindings for freetype 2.4.0 for Python. I dont understand why that:
Do you realize that this version is 13 years old? I recently saw a current
FreeType version in the anaconda environment. Just saying…
AttributeError: module 'freetype' has no attribute 'Face'
is coming from:
import freetypeface = freetype.Face("Vera.ttf")face.set_char_size( 48*64
)face.load_char('S')bitmap = face.glyph.bitmapprint(bitmap.buffer)
FreeType requires initialization (internal module loading). See if you can find
some _init_ method that you might need to call first.
