qreader

A pure python reader for QR codes. Made to be compatible to Python 2.7 to 3.6+.

We use the easy-to-install Pillow package to load the pictures, so lots of picture formats are supported.

Status

The package is a work in progress. It can currently decode right-side-up QR codes images generated on a computer (not pictures of printed codes).

Features left to be implemented:

• QR data error correction (currently being researched and implemented)
• image recognition to recognize QR codes in camera pictures

Usage

qreader.read(source)  # source can be a file-like object, a PIL image, or a path to a local file

For example:

import qreader
from urllib.request import urlopen

url = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8f/Qr-2.png'
data = qreader.read(urlopen(url))
print(data)  # prints "Version 2"
