*How can I decode a qr code in python 3.6 in Anaconda 4.8.3 a Windows 10 Pro N 64 bit installation?*

Most solutions require Pillow with `zbar`. However, [it appears](https://anaconda.org/sci-bots/pyzbar) `zbar` is only available on 32bit
windows installations. Furthermore, `pip install zbarlight` yields:

> 
> `ERROR: No matching distribution found for pyzbarlight`

To try and decode a qr code in python 3.6 in Anaconda 4.8.3 on a Windows 10 Pro N 64 bit device, I tried the following code:

```
# Set up virtual environment in Anaconda
# conda create --name test36 python=3.6
# conda activate test36

# Install pip in the `test36` environment:
# E:/ProgramData/Anaconda3/envs/test36/Scripts/pip install pyzbar

# Source: https://anaconda.org/anaconda/pillow
# conda install -c anaconda pillow

from pyzbar.pyzbar import decode
from PIL import Image
decode(Image.open('elbow.png'))

```

Which yields error:

> `OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found`
