Background
pyStrich was originally a fork of huBarcode. huBarcode was developed by HuDoRa from at least 2007, and has not been active since late 2013. Method B Ltd forked huBarcode as pyStrich in 2015 to provide Python 3 support and to continue development. pyStrich has been substantially enhanced over the years and has gone far beyond a simple port to Python 3. As of 2026, pyStrich is a modern Python package with full use of typing, linting and a comprehensive test suite.
Thanks to the folks at HuDoRa for the original huBarcode library that pyStrich grew out of.
