No support for Python 3

[Robie Basak]

I'm starting a new project, and it seems that this library would be perfect, only it doesn't support Python 3 (AFAICT). I don't want to start a new project in Python 2 :-(

[Robie Basak (racb)]

This may depend on a Python 3 port of zbar which does not exist either :-/

[Robie Basak (racb)]

https://sourceforge.net/p/zbar/bugs/86/ is the zbar bug.

[Ramiro Algozino (algozino)]

That's right, we need zbar to support python3 first; but zbar is used only
for decoding, if you need encoding only there are several options available.

Cheers!

Because of this bug, qr-tools package is due to be removed from Debian [1].

Hello,
There is now a zbar version with python 3 support.
https://github.com/mchehab/zbar
I started the port of qrtools.py and qtqr.py to Python 3

[Ramiro Algozino (algozino)]

Awesome, thank you!

This is a set of 6 patches to have qr-tools working in python 3 with zbar in Python 3 too.

[Papoteur (yves-brungard-mageia)]

in form of git patches

[Ramiro Algozino (algozino)]

Thanks for the patches Papoteur.

In order to push them to the PPA, I think we need first that zbar packaged in order to use it as a dependecy. For example, I can't locally test the zbar integration without compiling zbar from the github repo you linked.

Does anybody know if the packaging of that project is planned?

[Evgeny Kapun (abacabadabacaba)]

Python 3 bindings for zbar are already packaged for Ubuntu:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/eoan/amd64/python3-zbar

To install, add eoan-proposed suite to sources.list.

[Ramiro Algozino (algozino)]

Thanks for the update, I plan on working on ti this weekend.

Best regards,

Hello,
Is it now planned to have a release, such that distros can download a tarball and refer to it?

[Ramiro Algozino (algozino)]

Hello!

The code is already in trunk, the deb packaging though hasn’t been updated yet. I’m not having too much free time lately. I Will do it as soon as possible.

I've pushed the packaging definition changes and requested the build for the packages. Launchpad will process build in 5h, hopefully the build passes and the packages should be available on the Daily PPA

[Ramiro Algozino (algozino)]

Just pushed packages for Ubuntu Eon and Focal to Daily PPA. Thank you all for your time and collaboration.
