* add explicit location of capabilities.json for travis
* pass on env variables in tox builds
* drop support for python 3.3 and remove python3.3 from supported versions list
Add Function to Dummy Printer for Clearing Buffer
If you are using the dummy printer, you may want to use the printer
again after sending the output to a physical printer.
This method empties the list of the output buffer.
When executing a tox-run a pickle file will be created. If the docs are
built after the py3 task, it will fail due to incompatible
pickle-protocols.
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/25843743/4244236 for reference.
* add a method to check barcode code format
ensure that the code to print is compatible with the ESC/POS formats and
also automatically check this format before printing (barcode() method).
* rewrite test using pytest's parametrize functionality
* add test for the 'check' argument
* update authors list
The feature use_coverage of hypothesis caused the failing tests, because
the printer_file_test is sensitive to the coverage analysis of
hypothesis.
Fixed by disabling use_coverage for the crashing tests
hypothesis introduced a regression in 3.29.0 (or at least changed
behaviour). Until I have found the problem I will pin it to the last
working version.
Also two tests should be prevented from failing when they are slow.
This was tested on ZJ-5890 with success. By default centering is
deactivated for backward compatibility. Trying to center a QR code in
native mode will raise an exception as we do not know ATM if the native
rendering is centered by default or not.
* Added basic tests for center feature
* Check image size before centering
On a RaspberryPi it's taking 10 seconds to simply run:
import escpos.printer
This change creates a pickle file that will load 20x faster. The
rationale is that the capabilities.json file doesn't change too often.
Also changed some imports for PEP8.
