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

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.

Subject: QR code generator

 

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:~> /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:~>

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
