PCSC lite is an I/O library for smart cards. This package provides the Python bindings for the PCSC lite libaray, thus letting you write smart card applications in Python.
All available documentation can be read online at http://python-pcsclite.sourceforge.net/
This project provides a chip card interface device driver for the PC/SC Lite server deamon (pcscd). The driver provides a standard PC/SC interface to NFC devices supported by libnfc.
Note, that this project is currently not actively developed. However, the code has been adopted by the libnfc-Team. See https://code.google.com/p/ifdnfc/source/checkout.
