pyDataMatrix Scanner: Public release of code

The pyDataMatrixScanner is pleased to release it's first public release of code. This application captures video from a V4L2 webcam, and locates/decodes any DataMatrix barcodes in the image.

Written in python, it uses pyGTK for display and the libdmtx libraries to decode the DataMatrix barcodes.

Initially this application is intended for scanning barcodes on conference badges, but is adaptable for other uses. Using command line parameters you can enable/disable gui and pass decoded barcode text to the foreground application using pythonVirtKey.
