A cleverly named, but very simple python barcode renderer wrapping the BWIPP library and ghostscript command line tool, Python 2.7 and 3.3+ compatible.
Installation
Install from pip:
pip install treepoemYou’ll also need Ghostscript installed. On Ubuntu/Debian this can be installed with:
apt-get install ghostscriptOn Mac OS X use:
brew install ghostscriptOtherwise refer to your distribution’s package manager, though it’s likely to be called ghostscript too.
API
generate_barcode(barcode_type, data, options)
Generates a barcode and returns it as a PIL image file object (specifically, a PIL.EpsImagePlugin.EpsImageFile).
barcode_type is the name of the barcode type to generate (see below).
data is the string of data to embed in the barcode - the amount that can be embedded varies by type.
options is a dictionary of strings-to-strings of extra options to be passed to BWIPP, as per its docs.
For example, this generates a QR code image, and saves it to a file using standard PIL Image.save():
>>> import treepoem
>>> image = treepoem.generate_barcode(
... barcode_type='qrcode', # One of the BWIPP supported codes.
... data='barcode payload',
... options={},
... )
>>> image.save('barcode.png')barcode_types
This is a set of the ~100 names of the barcode types that the vendored version of BWIPP supports. If you’re looking for whether a specific type is supported, check here.
The library is tested with these specific, common types:
qrcode - QR Code
azteccode - Aztec Code
pdf417 - PDF417
interleaved2of5 - Interleaved 2 of 5
code128 - Code 128
code39 - Code 39
What’s so clever about the name?
Barcode.
Bark ode.
Tree poem.
