A Python package that can be used to transfer files with QR codes. Input a file, get QR code images. Print, email, or otherwise share your codes. Re-input these QR codes, get your original file back.
This package is directly invokable as a module:
$ python3 -m qrcode_file_transfer <args>
In addition, the provided setup.py installs an alias that can be run directly from the command line:
$ qrcode_file_transfer <args>
usage: __main__.py [-h] [--output_dir OUTPUT_DIR]
{encode,decode} input_files [input_files ...]
Convert a file to a series of QR images and back again.

decode QR codes into files.

The following command will encode the license and readme files into QR codes and save those images into a directory called out.
qrcode_file_transfer --output_dir=out encode LICENSE README.md
This will take the images generated in the previous command and convert them back into the original files. These files will be placed in the out directory.
qrcode_file_transfer --output_dir=out decode out/*.png
