This class generate EAN bar code, it required PIL (python imaging library) installed.

If the code has not checksum (12 digits), it added automatically.

Create bar code sample : from EANBarCode import EanBarCode bar = EanBarCode() bar.getImage("9782212110708",50,"gif")

Would you consider doing one for UPC-A ? I need something that does EAN and UPC-A. Any way to do that in Python?

i want to use an alternative font and make an image scaled to 1200 pixel width. with this nice recipie the image is too small and if i load a new font it is aliased due to scaling. how can i make a bigger image with an alternative fonts? in getImage you use magic number to write text inside the bars and i don't know how to change them!
