Python 3.6.0 or higher is required

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:
