UPC-A to UPC-E converter in Python

upca_to_upce.py

def upca_to_upce(upca):
    """
    Takes a upc-a code (12 digits), including check digit, 
        as a string and returns upc-e representation.
    UPC-E representation will be eight digits, including check digit
    Returns None if no upc-e representation is possible

    Rules from http://mdn.morovia.com/kb/UPCE-Specification-10634.html
    
    Test for all numbers 0-9 (last digit of upce) in number system 0
    Then test 1 number system 1 and one number system 2

@corpit do you have a script to do the reverse. upce -> upca?
