pip install pillow

Pass a 12-digit number as a string.

from barcode import ISBN13
from barcode.writer import ImageWriter
from PIL import Image
num = '979117528719'
# saving image as png
bar_code = ISBN13(num, writer=ImageWriter())
# save image
bar_code.save('bar_code')
#read the image using pillow
img = Image.open("bar_code.png")
img.show()
