PDF417 decoder for python

I’ve looked everywhere and I’ve only found information related to generating PDF417 codes, but nothing regarding how to decode them. Is there a library to decode them in python? I’m already detecting the code in an image and croping it, but now I need a decoder.

Answer

I found this little piece of code, which does just what I want. It decodes PDF417 barcodes. Doesn’t seem to be that robust though, so I’ll guess I’ll have to give the images some strong processing to extract only the barcode.
