Fast, robust, and less incomplete cffi-based bindings for libqrencode (Py2, Py3, and PyPy)

Project description

Fast, robust, and slightly less incomplete cffi-based Python bindings for libqrencode (http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/index.en.html).

Python 2, Python 3, and PyPy compatible!

Installing

$ pip install libqrencode

Examples

>>> import libqrencode as qr
>>> qrc = qr.QRCode("Hello, world!")

# The raw QR code can be accessed, where each item is a bitfield containing
# information about that portion of the code (see DATA_* constants).
>>> qrc.get_raw_data()
[193, 193, 193, 193, ...  3, 2, 2, 3, 3]

# If PIL is installed, a PIL image of the QR code can be created:
>>> qrc.get_im(border=3)
<PIL.Image.Image image mode=L size=81x81 at ...>

# And if lxml.etree / xml.etree is available, an SVG can be generated:
>>> qrc.get_svg_etree()
<Element g at ...>
>>> qrc.get_svg_string()
'<g><rect fill="white" height="21" width="21" x="0" y="0"/>...<rect fill="black" height="1" width="1" x="20" y="19"/></g>'
