Just use a python barcode generator and include it as an image in the
generated HTML. Some links to get you started with the py barcode code
part:

You could also hack GNU barcode into Zope
(http://www.gnu.org/software/barcode/barcode.html) but that'd be a bit
harder. Perhaps there is a python interface GNU barcode, though I
haven't found one yet.
