great.

Patches are always welcome.  I guess mncc-python is so far only used
with OsmoNITB, and not with the MS-side MNCC on OsmocomBB.  But it would
be great to have this working, too.

no.  osmo-sim-auth just performs a (GSM or UMTS) authentication against
a SIM card.

pySim is for programming certain cards where that is possible (like
MagicSIM, sysmoSIM, sysmoUSIM, etc.)

I think there are two distinct purposes and it makes sense to have two
different tools.  But yes, it probably could make sense to merge the
code in one repository and simply have multiple executables for that.

Would you be interested in merging the two, i.e. provide an incremental
patchset against pysim that adds the osmo-sim-auth binary?

Sorry to hear that. pySim-prog actually existed for much longer time, it
is what we always used to program SIM Cards ever since 2009.
