Installing

It's working on Ubuntu 18.04 with Zebra SDK 4.4, which you can download from https://www.zebra.com/de/de/support-downloads/software/developer-tools/scanner-sdk-for-linux.html
You can easily install zebra_scanner with pip:

.. code-block:: sh

sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-python-dev libpugixml-dev
sudo pip install pybind11
sudo pip install zebra-scanner

A minimal example

.. code-block:: python

import pprint
import time

from zebra_scanner import CoreScanner

pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
scanners = []
cs = CoreScanner()

@cs.on_scanner_added
def on_scanner_added(scanner):
print("New scanner found:")
pp.pprint(scanner.dict)
scanners.append(scanner)
scanner.pull_trigger()

 scanner.fetch_attributes()
 for id, attribute in scanner.attributes.items():
     if id<10:
         pp.pprint({
             "id": id,
             "datatype": attribute.datatype,
             "value": attribute.value,
             "permission": attribute.permission
         })

 @scanner.on_barcode
 def on_barcode(barcode):
     print("Scanned:")
     print(barcode.code, barcode.type)

@cs.on_scanner_removed
def on_scanner_removed(scanner):
print("Scanner removed:")
scanner.release_trigger()
scanners.remove(scanner)
pp.pprint(scanner.dict)

while True:
time.sleep(0.1)
# do nothing while the scanner is reading in continous mode
