Well, I have used Zope with a Barcode scanner.  Since the scanner (as do 
most) work via the keyboard, AS a keyboard, there is really nothing special 
to do.

We did include some JavaScript to make the focus change when ENTER is hit, 
since the scanner sends that at then end of a scan.

<input type="text" name="name" onKeyUp="if (event.which == 13) { 
document.forms[0].NextField.focus(); }">

From what I can find (working for a company that sells barcode and mag stripe 
scanners) you should have little trouble finding either that will interface 
as a keyboard.

Have a better one,
