Build Status

nfc-bindings

Introduction

The project goal is to provide scripting language bindings for libnfc (http://www.libnfc.org/) through swig.

For now only Python bindings are supported (2.x and 3.x), with full docstrings.

Alternative Python bindings are provided by PyNFC (https://github.com/ikelos/pynfc), which is somewhat higher-level, while the API does not seem to be fully covered.

Requirements

  • libnfc >= 1.7.1
  • cmake
  • swig
  • python

Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/xantares/nfc-bindings.git
cd nfc-bindings
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.local .
make install
python python/examples/quick_start_example.py

Specify Python stack

To manually choose the Python libraries other than the default, you can specify the locations of the interpreter, library and include dir, eg:

cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/libpython3.so -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python3.6 .

Example

from __future__ import print_function
import nfc
context = nfc.init()
pnd = nfc.open(context)
if pnd is not None:
    if nfc.initiator_init(pnd) == 0:
        print('NFC reader: %s opened' % nfc.device_get_name(pnd))
nfc.close(pnd)
nfc.exit(context)
