Generate nicely formatted barcodes (UPC-A and EAN)

Project description

beautiful_barcode

Generate well-formatted, production-ready Barcodes.

By default, existing Python barcode libraries like python-barcode generate good barcodes, but any and all formatting of the text is left up to the user. beautiful_barcode generates a nicely formatted barcode with interleaved text out of the box:

Example barcode

Depending on your renderer (and true by default), text in the barcode is not an SVG <text> element, as such an elment may render differently on different machines depending on font availability.

This library is currently limited to UPC-A/EAN and EPS/SVG – that's all we (the original authors) needed. Patches welcome!

Usage

>>> from beautiful_barcode import GTIN
>>> GTIN('123456789012').write('output.svg')
