Having made a script for generating Code 39 barcodes, I wanted to take this one step further, and use that script inside a larger script that creates a form that I use which has barcodes on it.
Here it is:
consultation.py
One change you might consider in your own form script compared with this one is to not exit when a "bad" character is entered for the barcode. For my purposes, I felt that if I did make a mistake, I would just delete the page and start all over.
