Just open sourced the Apache QR module of lilqr.com and went with Python instead
Just switched the site over to a Python based version and decided to open source the Apache module that generated the QR-codes before.
- Game_Ender 15y agoHave you considered putting some of code back into a C extension? You could probably get back most of the lost performance with only a little bit of C.
- ericflo 15y agoI would be curious to see what the performance is using PyPy instead of CPython. Seems right up its alley after reading http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2011/07/realtime-image-processing-in-python.html http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2011/07/realtime-image-processi...
- mirkules 15y agoI can't seem to find under what license is this released?
- dous 15y agoSeems to be under a BSD-style license https://github.com/siavashg/mod_qr/blob/master/COPYING https://github.com/siavashg/mod_qr/blob/master/COPYING
- mirkules 15y agoThanks. I saw the COPYING file, but since I'm not a legal expert (and since I am considering using this as part of a big project), I was looking for a declaration of a specific license rather than a few terms. Plus, I'm not that familiar with Github so I thought maybe I was simply not seeing a "license" section. Anyhow, thanks.
- jonursenbach 15y agoWhen are you planning on open sourcing the Python version?
- inportb 15y agoHave you considered Cython?
- laumars 15y agoI wonder what the performance difference would be between using the Python Apache plugin and running qrencode - the C executable ( http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/index.en.html http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/index.en.html ). I know it's not clean to call shell commands from Apache - not to mention the obvious performance hit with swapping environments - but perhaps the ELF vs Python JIT might compensate for this. Also, i'd be interested in a comparison of features between the two.
