Nice !

Do you really use all the card stuff you imported for something ?

I actually would have tought basing it on the sim abstraction layer of
pysim would have been simpler and would support cheap serial adapters
as well and not just pcsc ones. The api already has a run_gsm algo and
so only adding the umts one and a command line tool to call it would
have been needed.

Cheers,
