[libdecodeqr:0009] Re: Decoding Nokia QR codes

Hi, thank you for the credit but I'm not the creator of libdecodeqr, I
made a wrapping for Python which goes under the name pyqrcodec, which also
wraps an encoder (libqrencode). Unfortunatly libdecoderqr does not work
very well, as you noticed, that's why I also made pyqrdecode which wraps
another decoder (qrcode 0.9) written in java and distributed from
sourceforge-japan. This decoder is much better. The problem is that
pyqrdecode only runs out of the box under Windows.
You can find all the info here

In the Wiki section there are some hints about how to port pyqrdecode for
Linux, if you are going to try that I can help you..
Take care
