Thanks, Morrie, Steve and Colin, I have a 32 bit laptop running Ubuntu 14.10 and the LaunchPad had it found and installed in about 2minutes, and it works perfectly. I will go back and take Morrie's suggestion to move the qrtools.py file to the /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ location as the battery life on the OpenSuse laptop is 4 times greater than the old Toshiba. The QR code read accurately with my Android phone. It is a pity that the rpm package did not behave like the Ubuntu package. Thanks again Andrew Greig On 02/02/15 20:41, Morrie Wyatt wrote:
Hi Andrew.
Just tried the same on my Fedora 20 box at home, and
had exactly the same error.
The problem is easily discovered using:
rpm -ql python-qrtools
/qrtools.py
/usr/share/doc/python-qrtools
/usr/share/doc/python-qrtools/LICENCE
/usr/share/doc/python-qrtools/copyright
You will not that the qrtools.py ends up under the
root directory, not in the usual site-packages
directory /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
I'm guessing the reason is that Fedora 20, and
probably Suse too, have python versions 2.7 and 3.3
both simultaneously installed, so the packager took
the lazy way out, leaving it up to the end user
to put qrtools.py in in a more sensible place.
I just moved qrtools.py to the above site-packages
directory, and away it went.
(It also doesn't seem to work under python3, probably
as the various other python modules are not present
under the /usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/ directory.)
So give it a try and see how you go.
Regards,
Morrie.

Hi all,
Could I please get some advice concerning my failure to get the QtQR program running under SuSe 13.1
I have downloaded the rpm and installed qtqr as well as python-qrtools
I have no joy from the GUI "run" process and from the cli I get
andrewg@andrewg <mailto:andrewg@andrewg>:~> /usr/bin/qtqr Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/qtqr", line 15, in <module> from qrtools import QR ImportError: No module named qrtools andrewg@andrewg <mailto:andrewg@andrewg>:~>
I tried modprobe but that command no longer works.
I have a project where I need to generate around 350 different QR codes, all of the same format.
And then I need to print them in such a way as to recognise each label easily to correctly locate them.
Thanks
Andrew Greig
