## What it is
A pure Python library for generating QR code images, with support for PNG, SVG, and console rendering. It includes a command-line `qr` script and a Python API with configurable error correction, colors, and sizing.

## Use cases
- generate a QR code image from a URL or text
- create QR codes in a Python web app
- render a QR code to the terminal
- export QR codes as SVG or PNG
- customize QR code colors and error correction level
- batch-generate QR codes from a script

## When to choose
- you need to generate QR codes in Python or from the command line
- you want a dependency-light, pure Python solution
- you need output as PNG, SVG, or console art

## When to avoid
- you need to decode or read QR codes rather than generate them
- you need other barcode formats like Code128 or EAN

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: image-processing, cli
- domain: developer-tools, web-development
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: qr-code, barcode, png, svg, pillow
