I researched and went through different projects that have been done to scan barcodes. The most useful one I found was 6 lines of Python code that is given bellow. The code was found on a blog that used the example of scanning books. It can be found at this link.

Code:

import android
droid = android.Android()
code = droid.scanBarcode()
isbn = int(code['result']['SCAN_RESULT'])
url = "http://books.google.com?q=%d" % isbn
droid.startActivity('android.intent.action.VIEW', url)

Other interesting code for scanning barcodes can be found at this link.
