About this project¶

This project is intended to be a faithful reproduction of the Zint API in Python. As such, it provides functionality not found in any other python package, but at the same time it’s not particularly user-friendly. I hope that these bindings can function as a low-level foundation for a more pythonic library for symbol generation.

At the same time, if you experience crashes, exceptions, or other particularly egregious behavior, or if you have an idea for a quality of life improvement that would be easy to implement in the current code framework, feel free to open up an issue.
