Debug

Known issues

gotchaQRCodeEncoder generates DataMatrix-like codes, not standard QR codes. For actual QR codes, use a different library like qrcode.

fix

Use qrcode library for QR codes.

affects: all

gotchaThe library does not return PIL images or bytes; only saves to file. To get image data, save to a BytesIO object.

fix

Use io.BytesIO() as file-like object: from io import BytesIO; buf = BytesIO(); encoder.save(buf)

affects: all

deprecatedPython 3.9 and below are no longer supported since version 0.14.

fix

Use Python >=3.10 or pin to last compatible version for older Python.

affects: >=0.14

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: No module named 'pystrich'

The package is not installed.

fix

Run: pip install pystrich

AttributeError: module 'pystrich.qrcode' has no attribute 'QRCodeEncoder'

Wrong import path. The QRCode encoder is not always available or named differently.

fix

Check the library version; if using pystrich, import from pystrich.datamatrix for DataMatrix, not QRCodeEncoder.
