Limit Zbar to QR code only in Python

I'm using Zbar with it's Processor option in Python. I've been trying to figure out how to limit the symbology to QR-code only, but have only found answers for C as it follows:

scanner = new ImageScanner();
scanner.setConfig(Symbol.QRCODE, Config.ENABLE, 1);

I understand that the original code is written for C but is there anyway to do it in Python? Python isn't my main language and it's a bit difficult for me to understand what the arguments are in this case for processor.parse_config() (which I have currently set to 'enable'):

From https://github.com/npinchot/zbar/blob/master/processor.c

static PyObject*
processor_parse_config (zbarProcessor *self,
                    PyObject *args,
                    PyObject *kwds)
{
    const char *cfg = NULL;
    static char *kwlist[] = { "config", NULL };
    if(!PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(args, kwds, "s", kwlist, &cfg))
        return(NULL);

    if(zbar_processor_parse_config(self->zproc, cfg)) {
        PyErr_Format(PyExc_ValueError, "invalid configuration setting: %s",
                 cfg);
        return(NULL);
    }
    Py_RETURN_NONE;
}

I don't even understand why 'enable' is a valid argument.

Took me some time to figure this out since there's no documentation and the config format is counter-intuitive, IMO, but here you go:

proc.parse_config('disable')
proc.parse_config('qrcode.enable')

The first line, disable, disables all scanners. The second line enables the qrcode scanner.
