This problem happened again after 2 years ... this is what worked for me

In my case, I ran Ubuntu

and had to install the package libzbar-dev

:
sudo apt-get install libzbar-dev

Install PIL: brew install pillow

Download zbar source: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zbar

Unzip zbar: tar -xjvf zbar-0.10.tar.bz2

Install: python setup.py install --user
