Python based barcode readers
Does anyone know of any python based barcode readers? I'm looking for something (commercial or open source) that will use some OCR algorithm to read barcodes from an image or ps/pdf file, and ideally will be something along the lines of a callable python script. I have some pretty simple needs, i'm only trying to read code 93 barcodes, so i don't need it to be able to identify multiple symbologies or anything. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I also forgot to mention that it need not be nearly as robust as something like Jailhelper 2.0, I will not really need to compensate for noise and irregular conditions. All of my barcodes will be scanned in a predictable, and consistent environment (i.e. a scanner), so all i need is some stupid little script that will read the an image in and decode it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

This is something I have looked for too but I have not come across a decent barcode reader? On 9/22/08, Robocop [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know of any python based barcode readers?

The readers I've seen do all the decoding internally. They hook up via a Y-cable to your keyboard and require absolutely NO code at all on the PC. Anywhere the PC accepts keyboard input, you can wave the wand instead. Don't see why you would want to try to decode it yourself. Trust me, it's a pain in the ass. Unless you have a raw LED reader.
