zbar does not work with python3?

[boompig]

It looks like zbar is a dependency of this project but I can't seem to pip install zbar with python version 3.8.5.

There are a lot of posts suggesting you cannot use zbar with Python 3. Is it possible to change dependencies so that qrtools can work with Python 3?

Seeing this here too. It looks like the Py3 alternative is: https://pypi.org/project/pyzbar/ but also, maybe this one works too? https://github.com/zplab/zbar-py

What about zbar-lite?

Looks like this is the one used to create python3-zbar package in Ubuntu, and this one work with python3-qrtools package.

Maybe the documentation (README.md) need to be updated to make this clear.
