pyzbar

pyzbar is a Python library that provides bindings for the open-source ZBar barcode reading library. It allows users to read one-dimensional barcodes and QR codes from various image sources, including PIL/Pillow images, OpenCV/NumPy ndarrays, and raw bytes. The current version is 0.1.9. While some sources suggest active maintenance and regular updates, external analysis indicates an inactive maintenance status with no new PyPI releases in the past 12 months as of late 2025.
