Generate a QR Code with Python

Create a virtualenv and activate it

$ mkdir my_project && cd $_
$ python3 -m venv .
$ source bin/activate

Install the Pillow and QRCode packages

$ pip install pillow qrcode

Then, in a Python script:

import qrcode

img = qrcode.make('http://foo.bar')
img.save('/abs/path/to/file.png')

Or, even better, straight out of the docs, from the command line, run:

$ qr "Some text" > test.png
