pySimReader

This is the source code for the pySimReader application. It requires a PCSC compatible SIM reader to be attached to the computer.

The main product page is here: http://twhiteman.netfirms.com/pySIM.html

You can download the Windows installer from here: https://github.com/toddw-as/SimReader/blob/master/installer/pySimReader_v14_setup.exe?raw=true

The application uses Python for the user interface and data processing, as well as a binary Python module (DLL) to utilize the Microsoft SmartCard Base Component APIs (note that if I were to rewrite this code today, I'd probably utilize Python ctypes instead of this wrapper library - as that would simplify the build process - removing the Microsoft Visual Studio and Swig dependencies).

Build Requirements

• Microsoft Visual Studio
• Swig
• Python
• wx-python

Build Instructions

1. Build the PCSC dll and wrappers, follow the readme in PCSCHandle. After succuessfully building the "_PCSCHandle.pyd" library, it should be copied into this base directory.

2. If using Python2.4 or above, rename "_PCSCHandle.dll" to "_PCSCHandle.pyd", otherwise you'll get python import errors when trying to run the program.

Running instructions

To start the application, run: python pySimReader.py
