System Requirements
nfc-tools libfreefare must be installed. A supported NFC device should also be connected.
Development
Packaging
Checkout the repository and create a virtualenv using your preferred tooling. Next, create an "editable" install for the module through pip.
$ pip install --editable=.
You will now be able to run pytravelcard from the command line and Python will
execute your local codebase.
cffi bindings
pytravelcard calls native libraries through the C Foreign Function Interface for Python. When either of these libraries are updated, the cffi bindings should be rebuilt to facilitate access to new API calls.
After checking out libfreefare and
libnfc in the project directory, run make
and the libfreefare_build.py scripts to prepare and compile the native bindings.
