[Pyscard-devel] Modernisation progress and first steps to CI

[Alex W. <al...@mo...>]

Ludovic,

Thank you for merging my changes. I see also that you've started a
Python 3 branch. The C code is outside my expertise, but you should be
aware of one behaviour change that [1abd4d] introduced

-            print reader.name, ', uri: ', reader.uri
+            print(reader.name, ', uri: ', reader.uri)

In 2.x this will print the repr() of a tuple, not the string you intended. e.g.
[GCC 4.9.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print 'a', 'b', 'c'
a b c
>>> print('a', 'b', 'c')
('a', 'b', 'c')

The fix is
>>> from __future__ import print_function
>>> print('a', 'b', 'c')
a b c

One final thing, I'm experimenting with hosted builds and continuous
integration on Windows. It looks like we can get 32 and 64 bit Windows
binaries/installers for pyscard with very little trouble.

Repo: https://github.com/moreati/pyscard *
1st build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/moreati/pyscard/build/1.0.4/job/7jeh37mcn85ey8tr

* Github was just convenient, I've no intention of forking pyscard and
I will be sending patches to you.

Regards, Alex
