Simple python library for recognition text from image

I'm looking for a simple python library for text recognition from images. Images are similar to this:

enter image description here

The image contains a very pure and simple - one line, numbers and hyphens, but the resolution is low.

I would like something similar (in an ideal): 

 text = recognize(open('image.png', 'rb').read())

Does something similar exists? Thanks.

UPD

I know about pytesser and OCRopus. But as far as I understand they don't support Python 3.x.

OCRopus is another easy to learn OCR library for python. It also seems to yield (slightly) better results than pytesser. Here's the link to its site

I used pytesser. Very easy to learn, and did a great job for me. If you don't like this option, search for 'python OCR library'
