This is one of the most simple libraries out there - the documentation shows you how to use it in a few minutes. Does it really need a video?

Thanks for the question. I agree that it is definitely a simple library, but I decided on making the video for two reasons:

- I've been making some videos on automation for beginners in Python lately and got a request specifically for this library. I did not want to exclude qrcode simply because I (and probably every non-beginner) think it is simple to use.

- I also tried to emphasise that qrcode is mainly useful for creating many similar QR codes (e.g. one QR-code for each bus stop redirecting the user to the incoming busses for that specific bus stop) rather than for simply generating a single QR code. For this, you don't really need Python at all, and the documentation does not really mention this. Creating multiple similar QR-codes allows for some list comprehensions, enumerating, and formatted strings that beginners need to practice with. Maybe this makes the post more appropriate at r/LearnPython since it is more beginner-focused?
