This module provides a label printing wrapper class for Unix-based
installations. By "Unix", we mean Linux, Mac OS, BSD, and various flavors
import binascii

    This class pipes the label data directly through a /dev/* entry.
    Consequently, this is very Unix/Linux specific. It *MAY* work on Mac too.
