Description: =============================
        Pure python QR Code generator
        =============================
        
        This module uses image libraries, Python Imaging Library (PIL) by default, to
        generate QR Codes.
        
        It is recommended to use the pillow_ fork rather than PIL itself.
        
        .. _pillow: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow
        
        
        What is a QR Code?
        ==================
        
        A Quick Response code is a two-dimensional pictographic code used for its fast
        readability and comparatively large storage capacity. The code consists of
        black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The
        information encoded can be made up of any kind of data (e.g., binary,
        alphanumeric, or Kanji symbols)
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        From the command line, use the installed ``qr`` script::
        
            qr &quot;Some text&quot; &gt; test.png
        
        Or in Python, use the ``make`` shortcut function::
        
            import qrcode
            img = qrcode.make('Some data here')
        
        Advanced Usage
        --------------
        
        For more control, use the ``QRCode`` class. For example::
        
            import qrcode
            qr = qrcode.QRCode(
                version=1,
                error_correction=qrcode.constants.ERROR_CORRECT_L,
                box_size=10,
                border=4,
            )
            qr.add_data('Some data')
            qr.make(fit=True)
        
            img = qr.make_image()
        
        The ``version`` parameter is an integer from 1 to 40 that controls the size of
        the QR Code (the smallest, version 1, is a 21x21 matrix).
        Set to ``None`` and use the ``fit`` parameter when making the code to determine
        this automatically.
        
        The ``error_correction`` parameter controls the error correction used for the
        QR Code. The following four constants are made available on the ``qrcode``
        package:
        
        ``ERROR_CORRECT_L``
            About 7% or less errors can be corrected.
        ``ERROR_CORRECT_M`` (default)
            About 15% or less errors can be corrected.
        ``ERROR_CORRECT_Q``
            About 25% or less errors can be corrected.
        ``ERROR_CORRECT_H``.
            About 30% or less errors can be corrected.
        
        The ``box_size`` parameter controls how many pixels each &quot;box&quot; of the QR code
        is.
        
        The ``border`` parameter controls how many boxes thick the border should be
        (the default is 4, which is the minimum according to the specs).
        
        Other image factories
        =====================
        
        You can encode as SVG, or use a new pure Python image processor to encode to
        PNG images.
        
        The Python examples below use the ``make`` shortcut. The same ``image_factory``
        keyword argument is a valid option for the ``QRCode`` class for more advanced
        usage.
        
        SVG
        ---
        
        On Python 2.6 must install lxml since the older xml.etree.ElementTree version
        can not be used to create SVG images.
        
        You can create the entire SVG or an SVG fragment. When building an entire SVG
        image, you can use the factory that combines as a path (recommended, and
        default for the script) or a factory that creates a simple set of rectangles.
        
        From your command line::
        
            qr --factory=svg-path &quot;Some text&quot; &gt; test.svg
            qr --factory=svg &quot;Some text&quot; &gt; test.svg
            qr --factory=svg-fragment &quot;Some text&quot; &gt; test.svg
        
        Or in Python::
        
            import qrcode
            import qrcode.image.svg
        
            if method == 'basic':
                # Simple factory, just a set of rects.
                factory = qrcode.image.svg.SvgImage
            elif method == 'fragment':
                # Fragment factory (also just a set of rects)
                factory = qrcode.image.svg.SvgFragmentImage
            else:
                # Combined path factory, fixes white space that may occur when zooming
                factory = qrcode.image.svg.SvgPathImage
        
            img = qrcode.make('Some data here', image_factory=factory)
        
        Two other related factories are available that work the same, but also fill the
        background of the SVG with white::
        
            qrcode.image.svg.SvgFillImage
            qrcode.image.svg.SvgPathFillImage
        
        
        Pure Python PNG
        ---------------
        
        Install the following two packages::
        
            pip install git+git://github.com/ojii/pymaging.git#egg=pymaging
            pip install git+git://github.com/ojii/pymaging-png.git#egg=pymaging-png
        
        From your command line::
        
            qr --factory=pymaging &quot;Some text&quot; &gt; test.png
        
        Or in Python::
        
            import qrcode
            from qrcode.image.pure import PymagingImage
            img = qrcode.make('Some data here', image_factory=PymagingImage)

        Version 5.0
        ===========
        
        * Speed optimizations.
        
        * Change the output when using the ``qr`` script to use ASCII rather than
          just colors, better using the terminal real estate.

        Version 5.0.1
        -------------
        
        * Update version numbers correctly.
        
        
        Version 4.0
        ===========
        
        * Made qrcode work on Python 2.4 - Thanks tcely.
          Note: officially, qrcode only supports 2.5+.

          10 == 1mm per rectangle).
        
        * SVG path image generation allows cleaner SVG output by combining all QR rects
          into a single path. Thank you, Viktor Stískala.
        
        * Added some extra simple SVG factories that fill the background white.
        
        Version 4.0.1
        -------------
        
        * Fix the pymaging backend not able to save the image to a buffer. Thanks ilj!
        
        Version 4.0.2
        -------------
        
        * Fix incorrect regex causing a comma to be considered part of the alphanumeric
          set.
        
        * Switch to using setuptools for setup.py.
        
        Version 4.0.3
        -------------
        
        * Fix bad QR code generation due to the regex comma fix in version 4.0.2.
        
        Version 4.0.4
        -------------
        
        * Bad version number for previous hotfix release.
        
        
        Version 3.1
        ===========
        
        * Important fixes for incorrect matches of the alpha-numeric encoding mode.
          Previously, the pattern would match if a single line was alpha-numeric only
          (even if others wern't). Also, the two characters ``{`` and ``}`` had snuck
          in as valid characters. Thanks to Eran Tromer for the report and fix.
        
        * Optimized chunking -- if the parts of the data stream can be encoded more
          efficiently, the data will be split into chunks of the most efficient modes.
        
        Version 3.1.1
        -------------
        
        * Update change log to contain version 3.1 changes. :P
        
        * Give the ``qr`` script an ``--optimize`` argument to control the chunk
          optimization setting.
        
        
        Version 3.0
        ===========
        
        * Python 3 support.
        
        * Add QRCode.get_matrix, an easy way to get the matrix array of a QR code
          including the border. Thanks Hugh Rawlinson.
        
        * Add in a workaround so that Python 2.6 users can use SVG generation (they
          must install ``lxml``).
        
        * Some initial tests! And tox support (``pip install tox``) for testing across
          Python platforms.
        
        
        Version 2.7
        ===========
        
        * Fix incorrect termination padding.
        
        
        Version 2.6
        ===========
        
        * Fix the first four columns incorrectly shifted by one. Thanks to Josep
          Gómez-Suay for the report and fix.
        
        * Fix strings within 4 bits of the QR version limit being incorrectly
          terminated. Thanks to zhjie231 for the report.
        
        
        Version 2.5
        ===========
        
        * The PilImage wrapper is more transparent - you can use any methods or
          attributes available to the underlying PIL Image instance.
        
        * Fixed the first column of the QR Code coming up empty! Thanks to BecoKo.
        
        Version 2.5.1
        -------------
        
        * Fix installation error on Windows.
        
        
        Version 2.4
        ===========
        
        * Use a pluggable backend system for generating images, thanks to Branko Čibej!
          Comes with PIL and SVG backends built in.
        
        Version 2.4.1
        -------------
        
        * Fix a packaging issue
        
        Version 2.4.2
        -------------
        
        * Added a ``show`` method to the PIL image wrapper so the ``run_example``
          function actually works.
        
        
        Version 2.3
        ===========
        
        * When adding data, auto-select the more efficient encoding methods for numbers
          and alphanumeric data (KANJI still not supported).
        
        Version 2.3.1
        -------------
        
        * Encode unicode to utf-8 bytestrings when adding data to a QRCode.
        
        
        Version 2.2
        ===========
        
        * Fixed tty output to work on both white and black backgrounds.
        
        * Added `border` parameter to allow customizing of the number of boxes used to
          create the border of the QR code
        
        
        Version 2.1
        ===========
        
        * Added a ``qr`` script which can be used to output a qr code to the tty using
          background colors, or to a file via a pipe.
