Prints labels from the command line.
Inspired by (and named after) Jamie Hyneman's meticulously labeled storage bins at M5 Industries, shown here on MythBusters:
jamie.py uses a brute-force testing of font sizes and line wraps to fit the text onto a 3 inch by 2 inch label as efficiently as possible.
Requires Pillow:
pip3 install Pillow
jamie.py also uses the GNU FreeFont FreeSansBold.ttf, included in this repository for convenience.
Tested using this iDPRT SP410 thermal label printer, though it should work with other printers.
Tested using a roll of 3 inch by 2 inch labels, but other label sizes are possible if you edit width and height in the code.
Running
python3 jamie.py "Depleted uranium"
automatically prints this label:
Here are some of the labels in use in my home lab space:
