pip install aspose-barcode-for-python-via-java

Install specific version to particular environment

pip install aspose-barcode-for-python-via-java==25.6.0 --upgrade -t ./venv_external

2. Download from Aspose Website

Download the ZIP archive from the Aspose website.
This archive contains:

  • doc — includes aspose-barcode-python-xx.x-api-docs.zip, the compressed API docs
  • license — contains the End User License Agreement and third-party licenses
  • lib — contains Python source files and the product’s JAR file
  • readme.txt — general instructions

Steps:

  1. Unzip the Package Unzip the downloaded archive to any directory on your computer. This will create a folder containing the following structure:
lib
├── asposebarcode/
    ├── jlib/
    │   └── aspose-barcode-python-xx.x.jar
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── Assist.py
    ├── ComplexBarcode.py
    ├── Generation.py
    └── Recognition.py
  1. Install Required Python Version Make sure you have Python 3.7 installed on your system. You can check your Python version with:
 python --version
  1. Add the lib Folder to Your Project. The lib folder contains all necessary Python files. Make sure to keep this directory in your project root, or do not change its location after unzipping.
lib
├── asposebarcode/
    ├── jlib/
    │   └── aspose-barcode-python-xx.x.jar
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── Assist.py
    ├── ComplexBarcode.py
    ├── Generation.py
    └── Recognition.py

Running and Testing

Run a basic Python test:

import sys
import os
import unittest

from asposebarcode.Recognition import BarCodeReader, DecodeType, QualitySettings

sys.path.insert(0, "./lib")

from asposebarcode import Assist, ComplexBarcode, Generation, Recognition
from asposebarcode.Generation import BarcodeGenerator, EncodeTypes


class BarcodeTests(unittest.TestCase):
	def __init__(self):
		self.folder = "testdata"
		self.image_path = os.path.join(self.folder, "code_128.png")
		self.pythonLicensePath = os.path.join(self.folder, "Aspose.BarCode.Python.Java.lic")

	def test_generate_barcode_image(self):
		license = Assist.License()
		license.setLicense(self.pythonLicensePath)
		generator = BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.CODE_128, "123456")
		image = generator.generateBarCodeImage()
		generator.save(self.image_path, Generation.BarCodeImageFormat.PNG)

	def test_recognize_barcode_image(self):
		license = Assist.License()
		license.setLicense(self.pythonLicensePath)
		barcodeReader = BarCodeReader(self.image_path,None, DecodeType.CODE_128)
		barcodeReader.setQualitySettings(QualitySettings.getMaxQuality())
		results = barcodeReader.readBarCodes()
		for result in results:
			print("Code Type:", result.getCodeTypeName())
			print("Code Text:", result.getCodeText())
