    filename = ean.save('ean13')

In Your View.py

Import This

import barcode
from barcode.writer import ImageWriter


def Bar(request): 
    lineCode = '1234567891234'
    barCodeImage = barcode.get('ean13', lineCode, writer=ImageWriter())
    filename = barCodeImage.save(item_name.png)
    return HttpResponse(image,content_type="image/png")

It Will Generates Image and save it your project root folder
