If that's a bit heavyweight (and confusing; it's not all free software,
since some of it is under non-free license terms), there are other

pyBarcode <URL:http://pythonhosted.org/pyBarcode/> says it's a
pure-Python library that takes a barcode type and the value, and
generates an SVG of the barcode.
