Now open ean13_barcode [svg|png] in a graphic app or simply in your browser and see the created barcode. That's it.
$ pybarcode{2,3} create "My Text" outfile
New barcode saved as outfile.svg.
$ pybarcode{2,3} create -t png "My Text" outfile
New barcode saved as outfile.png.
Try `pybarcode -h` for help.
