biip

Biip is a Python library for making sense of the data in barcodes.

The library can interpret the following formats:

• GTIN-8, GTIN-12, GTIN-13, and GTIN-14 numbers, commonly found in EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E, and ITF-14 barcodes.

• GS1 AI element strings, commonly found in GS1-128 barcodes.

For details on how the barcode data is interpreted, please refer to the GS1 General Specifications (PDF).

Installation

Biip requires Python 3.6 or newer.

Biip is available from PyPI:

$ python3 -m pip install biip

Optionally, with the help of py-moneyed, Biip can convert amounts with currency information to moneyed.Money objects. To install Biip with py-moneyed, run:

$ python3 -m pip install "biip[money]"
