[reportlab-users] QR Codes

[Germán M. Bravo]

After checking the barcodes issue about strokes (check my other posts), I wanted to print those newly popular little things called QR codes using ReportLab, but it doesn't have them. Neither does it have any kind of 2D barcodes at all... some would be nice.

Anyway, I was looking around and I found a nice new library to generate QR Codes (http://github.com/hcvst/pyqr) and this one is pure python. The library is still very young and needs a lot of refactoring and optimizations. However, I believe that with just enough work, we could get ReporLab to generate those kind of 2D codes easily.

I spoke with the author of the library, an he told me there's no problem at all about relicensing his code under a BSD license (currently he had it GPL) so it makes it way in ReportLab's official code and he even seemed eager to help during the process.

So what do you think? what are the steps to get the ball rolling?
