Library to use Datalogic(r) PowerScan(r) PD-9530 with USB-COM or RS232 on Windows(r) and UNIXes

The package depends on pySerial for communication and pywin32 for sending keystrokes.

To see if the scanner is detected properly::

scanner = PD9530("COM6")
scanner.attach()
print(scanner.get_device_id())
scanner.close()

To just read a code, call::

scanner = PD9530("COM6")
scanner.attach()

for code in scanner.readlines():
	print(code)

scanner.close()

To take a picture of the scanner view::

scanner = PD9530("COM6")
scanner.attach()
image, content_type = scanner.get_picture()
if image is None:
    print("Fetching image failed, maybe resetting scanner helps")
else:
    print("Got %s picture of %s bytes, saving..." % (content_type, len(image)))
    with open("test.%s" % content_type.lower(), "wb") as imagefile:
        for byte in image:
            imagefile.write(byte)
        print("Image is in test.%s" % content_type.lower())

The pd9530.py can also be called to get both functions shown above from command line.
