kandi X-RAY | pylabels Summary
pylabels is a Python library for creating PDFs to print sheets of labels. It uses the [ReportLab PDF toolkit][1] to produce the PDF, and works under both Python 2 and Python 3. Basically, the user creates a set of specifications of the label sizes etc, writes a callback function which does the actual drawing, and gives these two items to a Sheet object. Items are then added to the sheet using the add_label() method (or add_labels() to add all items from an iterable). The callback function is called once for each item, being given a ReportLab Drawing object representing the label, its width and height, and the item to draw on the label. Any of the standard ReportLab drawing methods can be used, with pylabels automatically adding a clipping path around each label to prevent it interfering with other labels. Once all the items have been added, the labels can be saved as a PDF, or a preview of a page can be saved as an image.

QUESTION
I am currently trying to draw qr codes on my labels (pylabels library). I am able to create the qr code images using the qrcode library. However, I am a bit lost with how I actually draw the images on the labels.
I used the sample code from https://github.com/bcbnz/pylabels/blob/1.2.1/demos/basic.py
I tried to use all the methods offered by shapes.Drawing but haven't had any success.
I went through the reportlab documentation but doesn't really understand how I get it to work.

QUESTION
I am attempting to create a bit of code that will apply a function on each row of a specific database column. Other posts I have seen appear to apply a function over the row of all columns, which is not what I need.
What I have attempted to do is to subset the data to get a database with only the column I need ('blargh' in script below), and then try to churn the database through a for loop. However, I'm not sure how to iterate over each row. Could someone help me by understanding how to make the for loop below function?

Install pylabels
You can use pylabels like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
