This EPurse was written with the following constraints:
Having to stick to a 2K card was the toughest challenge … and if I recall I could not add a byte to the existing.
The security is OK, even if this is no EMV application.
Oh yes. HTMLgen is needed (reports and Emails if I recall).
I think it’s all there … let me know if that is not the case.

17+ years together, and you had to fall in that stupid pool.
May the road be as fun to you as you were to us; thinking of you will only bring good memories … and a few tears.
I tell you what: wait a bit for me, I’ll re-incarnate as a dog and you as a man … and you’ll feed me for a change !

The name changed with time. The purpose of the application is to logon to a PC with a Smart Card … which also includes a very basic epurse. Points from the epurse are removed from the card every couple of minutes …and yes the user gets logged off when their are no more points in the card and as to go pay to have it recharged.
The applets are in BasicCard, the GINA in C++, and the configuration utilities in Python and VB6.
As I guess it would make sense to also provide the installation files for the various projects I’m releasing to the Open Source … here is the installation package for GINA Solo. It is a Visual Studio .NET (2003) project.
When a project requires pre-personalization and more specifically loading a binary file onto the target, once discovers that there are a few pitfalls associated with the process.
When reading Global Platform , you discover that many other documents must be read before you get the job done (ex: MACing). By the way, I’ll release soon a GP support module for SCF.
Anyway, if it is simpler with BasicCard, there are still a few risk of locking the card even if there is not crypto. involved. You’ll find here: http://snakecard.com/Source/Applications/SCF/Load_BC.zip; the core code I have used in a few project to load a BasicCard binary onto the card (that means it works 
).
Do note, however, that the way to switch a card from load to test to run mode varies from a BasicCard to another … but that is well tackled in their documentation.
I really like Doxygen for Java Card; so I thought that with the third party filter I found, I could get it to work fine on Python … no go for now.
The SCF source documentation is back to the epydoc format. I am trying the new beta release but have yet to check out the new features.
So I just re-ran my hold script (which I’ll have to adjust to add the new stuff) and put the result online: http://www.snakecard.com/Source/Documentation/API/html/

SCF uses two existing extensions: Pycsc (a Python PCSC wrapper hosted now I believe on the muscle site … slightly modified) and Pycrypto.
The bad news is that many don’t … the good news is that I do.
Now I also have the latter but have not done the job yet, and I currently still use Python 2.4.x.
So until I have a clean install, and assuming you have python 2.4x installed in C:\python24 :
copy http://snakecard.com/Source/Applications/SCF/python24/pycsc.pyd to C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages
unzip http://snakecard.com/Source/Applications/SCF/python24/Crypto.zip to C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages
Once that is done SCF should run happily on your PC.
Linux users: use the usual “python setup.py install” command to get the extensions compiled and installed properly.
