AusPostGen

A Python library for generating Australia Post Barcode versions 37, 52, and 67.

This is a fork off the auspostgen project by damiandennis maintained by Stampix. The goal of this fork was to make the package more modern and be usable in newer projects.

Features

• Generate Australia Post barcodes in various formats
• Support for versions 37, 52, and 67
• High-performance C extension for barcode generation
• Simple Python API

Installation

# Using Poetry
poetry add stampix-auspostgen

# Using pip
pip install stampix-auspostgen

Usage

from stampix.auspostgen.generator import write_image

# Generate a barcode image
write_image("output.png", "12345678901234567890", version=37)

Development

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies:

   poetry install

3. Run tests:

   poetry run pytest

Notes

• There are some file comparison tests in the repo, but they don't give exactly the same results cross-platform so leaving this as is for now.

• python-semantic-release doesn't update the version number inside the toml file & __init__.py for some reason. We will take a look later.
