0.3

Graphical User Interface

0.2

Command Line Interface; PyPI integration

Dependencies

• Python3 (Tested with 3.3 and 3.4, other versions should work, too)

• setuptools to use the setup script or pip, usually preinstalled

• optional: PIL, or compatible fork (Pillow is recommended) to save barcodes as raster graphics

Let pip do the work

$ pip install -i https://testpypi.python.org/pypi code128 --pre

Windows Users

A convenient graphical installer is provided for the final releases.

build from source

download the zip archive or tarball, extract it and install with (you may need root access):

$ python ./code128-[version]/setup.py install

with Python

import code128

code128.image("Hello World").save("Hello World.png")  # with PIL present

with open("Hello World.svg", "w") as f:
        f.write(code128.svg("Hello World"))

from shell

Code128 provides a command line interface. If you installed the library, simply type

$ code128 "Hello World" "Hello World.svg"

The packet also defines a __main__.py entry point, so

$ python ~/spam/eggs/code128 "Hello World" "Hello World.svg"

will work, too.

The GUI

$ code128w

will start the graphical mode, where you can preview your codes. This needs PIL and tkinter.
