I was using the Debian package available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/python-pcsclite/files/python-pcsclite-0.11-1/

I'm working this, and the others. Actually they are all fixed, but I have a hardening-no-fortify-functions lintian warning. When I get past that I will release 0.12.

I'm not sure has this slipped through - I use it on Wheezy. Fixed in 0.12. Thanks for reporting it.
