Hi Scott,

The actual Python3 port of this package is not that hard and resides in
Git[1] since some time.  The problem is that pbbarcode depends pbh5tools
which does not build with latest pbcore.  So this is the real show
stopper to upload a migrated pbbarcode.

In any case I have uploaded a new version of smrtanalysis metapackage
where pbbarcode was lowered to suggests which would enable removal of
pbbarcode without dependency issues.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
