Description: # Barcode Printer for Django
        
        This is a reusable Django application which generates PDF barcodes in various formats with a human and machine (OCR-A) readable textual label.
        
        These barcodes are rendered as a PDF with embedded JavaScript which prompts the PDF to be immediately printed.
        
        Currently this is used by [Adlibre DMS](http://www.adlibre.com.au/adlibre-dms/) for document barcode generation, 
        but this application is generic and can be reused in any Django app that requires barcode printing.
        
        [ReportLab](http://www.reportlab.com) is used for the barcode generation. And the following formats are supported:
        
         * Code39 (3 of 9),
         * Code128.
        
        However it would be trivial to add support for any format that ReportLab supports.
        
        ## Example
        
        Barcode automatically printing from URL:

        ## Installation
        
        If you use pip then the dependencies and requirements will be taken care of:
        
        Prod:
        
            pip install git+git://github.com/adlibre/django-bcp.git
        
        Dev:
        
            pip install -e git+git@github.com:adlibre/django-bcp.git#egg=bcp
        
        ## N.B. ReportLab Bug
        
        ReportLab 2.5/2.6 has a typo. "OpenActions" should be "OpenAction" as per ISO 32000-1:2008.
        
        <pre>
        diff -r broken/lib/python2.7/site-packages/reportlab/pdfbase/pdfdoc.py fixed/lib/python2.7/site-packages/reportlab/pdfbase/pdfdoc.py
        1022c1022
        &lt;         Dests Outlines Pages Threads AcroForm Names OpenActions PageMode URI
        ---
        &gt;         Dests Outlines Pages Threads AcroForm Names OpenAction PageMode URI
        </pre>
        
        You will need to manually patch this, otherwise the barcode will not automatically print:
        
            sed -i -e 's@OpenActions@OpenAction@g' lib/python*/site-packages/reportlab/pdfbase/pdfdoc.py
