Your system information

Operating system used: Windows 10, version 20H2 (build 19042.867)
pyscard version: pyscard-2.0.0-cp38-cp38-win_amd64
Python version: Python 3.8.6

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

On a fresh Python installation I tried installing pyscard, but I ran into trouble:

c:\dev\py\smartcard>python
Python 3.8.6 (tags/v3.8.6:db45529, Sep 23 2020, 15:52:53) [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> exit()

c:\dev\py\smartcard>python --version
Python 3.8.6

c:\dev\py\smartcard>pip list
Package    Version

pip        21.0.1

c:\dev\py\smartcard>pip install pyscard-2.0.0-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl
Processing .\pyscard-2.0.0-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl

Successfully installed pyscard-2.0.0

c:\dev\py\smartcard>type smartcard.py
from smartcard.scard import *

c:\dev\py\smartcard>python smartcard.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "smartcard.py", line 1, in <module>
    from smartcard.scard import *
  File "c:\dev\py\smartcard\smartcard.py", line 1, in <module>
    from smartcard.scard import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'smartcard.scard'; 'smartcard' is not a package

c:\dev\py\smartcard>

I'm really not sure what I am doing wrong here, but it's probably just a code id10T.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Install latest version of Python 3.8
Install wheel
Download pyscard-2.0.0-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl from AppVeyor and install it.
Make a basic program that just imports the pyscard library.

For an unknown reason the binary module is not always loaded on Windows. It works fine when using Python from miniconda but not the "standard" Python install.

I do not use Windows so I can't really help. If you have the solution that would be appreciated.

Didn't have any luck with installing it in miniconda either. I'll try installing it on Ubuntu instead, thanks.
