The goal of opencv is to provide bindings to 'OpenCV' Computer Vision
Library. Hence a much wider scope than just reading qrcodes. qrcode just
focusses creating different qrcodes. The fact that they can use each other
to test themselves is a happy coincidence.

Why are these functins in two different packages?
On the surface it looks like qrcode is a transformation function and opencv is

Dear all,
The qrcode package converts text into a qrcode image. The opencv package is
able to convert images with a qrcode into the text. opencv has a unit test
that uses qrcode to generate a test image. Hence it lists qrcode as a
suggested package.
