It outputs to PNG (with pillow), SVG, EPS, DXF, and terminal text without requiring external binaries or system libraries beyond pillow for raster formats.\n\nThe package is actively maintained, supports current Python versions (>=3.10), and includes comprehensive typing and test coverage. It depends on pillow and typing-extensions at runtime. Use it when you need to programmatically generate barcodes for inventory, shipping, point-of-sale, or document workflows without external encoding services.","worth_installing":"Yes. pyStrich is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive license. Install it if you need to generate barcodes in Python without external services or system dependencies (beyond pillow for PNG output). The recent release cadence and modern codebase make it a reliable choice for production use."},"id":"pystrich","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystrich","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystrich.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pystrich/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-23","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyStrich","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"PyStrich is a fast pure-Python module to generate 1D and 2D barcodes: Code 39, Code 128 (including GS1-128), EAN-13, ITF-14, Data Matrix (including GS1 Data Matrix), QR Code, PDF417 and Aztec Code."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":80298,"position":14300,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.19"}
