This is a python package to create and read barcodes
You can create file-like objects, text files and images from just a barcode number.
Image generation is fast so it can be used to create images in bulk.
Supported Barcode Types
More types will soon be supported.
PRs are welcome :)
Installing
Python 3.6.0 or higher is required
To install the library you can run the following command:
.. code:: sh
# Linux/MacOS
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pybarcodes
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install --upgrade pybarcodes
Quick Example
You can see what barcodes are supported
.. code:: py
>>> import pybarcodes
>>> pybarcodes.SUPPORTED_BARCODES
['EAN13', 'EAN8', 'EAN14', 'JAN', 'CODE39']
And you can use this to view the barcode that was generated:
.. code:: py
from pybarcodes import EAN13
CODE = "012345678905"
barcode = EAN13(CODE)
barcode.show()
This is pretty much all the code you need to generate a barcode.
Saving an image of the barcode is pretty straightforward.
.. code:: py
from pybarcodes import EAN14
barcode = EAN14("40700719670720")
# Saves the image in PNG format
barcode.save("myimage.png")
# You can also resize it.
barcode.save("myimage2.png", size=(100000, 1000000))
EAN13 output from example 2:
