Too sad to see so many efforts on Python 3 although nobody is using it...
- jackmaney 11y agoI've made the switch on the code I write at work from Python 2 to Python 3, and it was far less of a hassle than I feared. Unless you're using a package that doesn't work on Python 3 (which isn't the case for me; NumPy, SciPy, pandas, scikit-learn, etc, all work fine on 3) or worrying a lot about Unicode, it isn't that difficult (in my experience) to write code that is compatible with both 2 and 3.
- collyw 11y agoI try to use it on new projects. I don't have any reason not to. I really hope Perl 6 gets some adoption, it sounds like a great language.

- taspeotis 11y agoThat's what I saw, plus the description mentions Windows 2000, but if you go to the SourceForge page: 206 Downloads (This Week) Last Update: 2014-12-13
- zyx321 11y agoIt's probably time for a major rewrite anyway, seeing how Windows Vista introduced a new Crypto API and this library claims support only for 2000 and XP.
- chx 11y agoIs that multiplatform? Because PCSC has a multiplatform version in PCSC Lite http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ and that's what that Python library wraps. I am unaware of any smartcard implementation for Linux.
