title: How do I import Zbar into my Python 3.4 script?
body: <p>I am pretty new to programming, and have never used Zbar before. I am trying to write a simple script that will allow me to import Zbar and use it to decode a barcode image. I already have a script set up to decode text from images that uses Pytesseract and Tesseract OCR, but I need to be able to decode barcodes as well. I have Windows 7 32 bit, and and am using Python 3.4. I have already installed Zbar and have used it from the command line successfully to decode their barcode sample. I have tried using >pip install zbar, but I keep getting the error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'zbar.h': No such file or directory
    error: command 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\BIN\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2"</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Getting the pytesseract OCR was painless but I have wasted a lot of time on this barcode portion of it, any help or alternatives would be much appreciated.</p>
