ACS ACR39U ICC Reader - newbie problem with using PyKCS11

[sq5rix]

Your system information

• Operating system used: arch linux
• PyKCS11 version: current
• Python version: 3.9
• PKCS#11 library used: no idea

I installed my card reader: $ pkcs11-tool -L Available slots: Slot 0 (0x0): ACS ACR39U ICC Reader 00 00 (token not recognized)

also my pcsc_scan works: $ pcsc_scan Using reader plug'n play mechanism Scanning present readers... 0: ACS ACR39U ICC Reader 00 00 .... Possibly identified card (using /home/tom/.cache/smartcard_list.txt): 3B DD 96 FF 81 31 FE 45 80 59 5F 53 74 64 5F 49 6E 69 74 81 05 9B

I installed PyKCS11 from repo (make, sudo make install)

I tried to run this code:

import PyKCS11 pkcs11 = PyKCS11.PyKCS11Lib() pkcs11.load()

I get error: PyKCS11.PyKCS11Error: Load (No PKCS11 library specified (set PYKCS11LIB env variable))

Please point me what library should I install and use.

Everything is in the error message: set PYKCS11LIB env variable See also https://pkcs11wrap.sourceforge.io/api/api.html?highlight=load#PyKCS11.PyKCS11Lib.load

If OpenSC does NOT recognize your card then PyKCS11 will not work.
