Test matrix of supported Python versions

Run tox

rm -rf .tox && tox

Windows

The build.sh script downloads both the 32-bit (libiconv-2.dll and libzbar-32.dll) and 64-bit (ibiconv.dll and libzbar-64.dll) DLLs to the pyzbar directory. The load_zbar function in wrapper.py looks for the appropriate DLLs. The appropriate DLLs are packaged up into the wheel build and are installed alongside the package source. This strategy allows the same method to be used when pyzbar is run from source, as an installed package and when included in a frozen binary.

Releasing

  1. Build

    Create wheel builds in the dist directory. The win32 and win_amd64 wheels will contain the appropriate zbar.dll and its dependencies.

    ./build.sh

  2. Release to TestPyPI (see https://packaging.python.org/guides/using-testpypi/)

    twine upload -r testpypi dist/*

  3. Test the release to TestPyPI

    c:\python27\python.exe -m venv test1
test1\scripts\activate
    • Install dependencies that are not on testpypi.python.org. If you are on Python 2.x, these are mandatory
    pip install enum34 pathlib
    • Pillow for tests and command-line programs. We can't use the pip install pyzbar[scripts] form here because Pillow will not be on testpypi.python.org
    pip install Pillow
    • Install the package itself
    pip install --index https://testpypi.python.org/simple pyzbar
    • Test
    read_zbar --help
read_zbar <path-to-image-with-barcode.png>

  4. If all is well, release to PyPI

    twine upload dist/*

    pip install pyzbar[scripts]
