I have qrencode on my machine and have been playing around with it, I also
have qreator which is a gui, but both of them just generate the QR code, so
I
will have to figure out what I can do to merge a QR code with a short line
of
text for the label. Also did not find the python2 references using
Synaptic.

The search was done using pacman, was that Arch?
