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, and ITF-14 barcodes.

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

• UPC-A and UPC-E numbers, as found in UPC-A and UPC-E barcodes.

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

Installation

Biip requires Python 3.7 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]"
