README for pydmtx version 0.6.0 - November 23, 2008
-----------------------------------------------------------------

pydmtx is a thin wrapper around libdmtx that reads and writes
Data Matrix barcodes as PIL Image objects. Dan Watson wrote the
original version of pydmtx in 2006, and allowed it to become a
native part of the libdmtx package.


1. libdmtx Installation
-----------------------------------------------------------------

libdmtx must be installed on your system before trying to install
and run the Python wrapper. Refer to the INSTALL file in the main
libdmtx directory for instructions on how to do this.


2. pydmtx Installation
-----------------------------------------------------------------

After libdmtx is present, next install pydmtx by running the
following command as root:

  $ python setup.py install

Once installed, you can verify it works by running as yourself:

  $ python test.py

If it throws an error like this:

  ImportError: libdmtx.so.0: cannot open shared object file

this indicates it is not able to find the libdmtx library.
There are a few ways to fix this. You can make a temporary
local session fix:

  $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

... or make a permanent fix that requires root privileges:

  $ /sbin/ldconfig /usr/local/lib

Alternatively, you could edit /etc/ld.so.conf to include
/usr/local/lib (which also requires root privileges).

When it is working properly the test.py script should create an
image named 'hello.png' in the current directory. The image
should be a Data Matrix barcode that scans to "hello, world".


3. Dependencies
-----------------------------------------------------------------

These packages are required to install and run pydmtx:

  Python:  http://www.python.org
  PIL:     http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil

If you are using an RPM-based system then you can test for the
following packages:

  python
  python-devel
  python-imaging
