Bookland.py is a Python program to generate ISBN and ISMN bar codes.
v. 0.92 is now available at

http://www.cgpp.com/bookland

or use the updated online barcode generator at

http://www.cgpp.com/bookland/isbn.html

It's still GPL. Changes since v. 0.91:

   - add ISMN support (thanks to Lars-Henrik Nysten for this suggestion)
   - re-wrote bar generation to preclude possibility of white hairlines
     between adjacent black modules. Thanks to Tero Lindfors for
     reporting this bug.
   - new -o option to write eps to file rather than stdout.
   - new -x option for "check only" (verifies check digit)
   - new -r option for bar width reduction (compensate for print bleed)
   - new -s option to scale module (bar) height (Lars-Henrik Nysten again)
   - can suppress UPC-5 price code by entering empty string. (thanks to
     Jacques Du Pasquier for this suggestion)
   - re-wrote ISBN/ISMN sanity checks
   - lowercase alphas ("x" for ISBN and "m" for ISMN) now ok on input
   - fix "long" command line options.

Bug reports welcome.
