Python Decoder for Driving License in South Africa
The Python project is used to decode, decrypt and parse South African driving licenses. The PDF417 decoding part relies on Dynamsoft Barcode Reader, which requires a license key.

Command-line Usage
$ sadltool [-t TYPES] [-e ENCRYPTED] [-l LICENSE] source

positional arguments:
source A source file containing information of driving license.

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t TYPES, --types TYPES
Specify the source type. 1: PDF417 image 2: Base64 string 3: Raw bytes
-e ENCRYPTED, --encrypted ENCRYPTED
Is the source encrypted? 0: No 1: Yes
-l LICENSE, --license LICENSE
The license key is required for decoding PDF417

Try Project Examples:
python test.py images/dlbase64.txt -t 2 -e 0
python test.py images/dl.raw -t 3 -e 0
python test.py images/dl.png -l <Dynamsoft Barcode Reader License Key>

Sample Code
import argparse
from sadl import *
import sys
import os

def sadltool():

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Decode, decrypt and parse South Africa driving license.')
parser.add_argument('source', help='A source file containing information of driving license.')
parser.add_argument('-t', '--types', default=1, type=int, help='Specify the source type. 1: PDF417 image 2: Base64 string 3: Raw bytes')
parser.add_argument('-e', '--encrypted', default=1, type=int, help='Is the source encrypted? 0: No 1: Yes')
parser.add_argument('-l', '--license', default='', type=str, help='The license key is required for decoding PDF417')

if len(sys.argv) == 1:
parser.print_help()
sys.exit(1)

try:
args = parser.parse_args()
source = args.source
types = args.types
if args.encrypted == 1:
encrypted = True
else:
encrypted = False
license = args.license

if not os.path.exists(source):
print('Source not found')
exit(-1)

if types == 1:
dl = parse_file(source, encrypted, license)
print(dl)
elif types == 2:
with open(source, 'r') as f:
source = f.read()
dl = parse_base64(source, encrypted)
print(dl)
elif types == 3:
data = Path(source).read_bytes()
dl = parse_bytes(data, encrypted)
print(dl)

except Exception as err:
print(err)
sys.exit(1)
