PreRequisites

pyscard - python smart card library

py_emv_utils makes use of the pyscard library to interact with the smartcard at the APDU level and so pyscard must be installed first.

the pyscard project appears to currently be actively managed at github by Ludovic Rousseau https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/pyscard

it was originally authored by Jean-Daniel Aussel (http://sourceforge.net/users/jdaussel)
and was available from sourceforge @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyscard/
with a project page @ http://pyscard.sourceforge.net/

it appears that there is a mirror of this original source available from github:
