I have created a (experimental) Python extension package that provides an interface to the pcsc-lite library (version 0.4.0). It was created and tested for the non-RPC version only. There are two demonstration scripts, one simply prints out the ATR of a card, the other one reads the phone book from a GSM SIM card. The package is meant to serve as a basis for easy smartcard programming. Most of the PC/SC functionality is still untested and there are many open issues. At least it works with my configuration: RedHat 6.0 and a Schlumberger Reflex 60 card reader. Please play around with it and send any suggestions for improvement to me. I would like to hear about any problems you might encounter. The package together with a description is available at http://home.t-online.de/home/320010611885/index.htm. Happy new year! -Harald ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ___________________________________________________________ TopMail - Jetzt kostenlos anmelden - http://www.topmail.de *** com!online: Jetzt 2 Ausgaben kostenlos testen unter *** ------- http://www.com-online.de/service/index6.html ------ *************************************************************** Linux Smart Card Developers - M.U.S.C.L.E.
