pySim filesystem abstraction¶
Representation of the ISO7816-4 filesystem model.
The File (and its derived classes) represent the structure / hierarchy of the ISO7816-4 smart card file system with the MF, DF, EF and ADF entries, further sub-divided into the EF sub-types Transparent, Linear Fixed, etc.
The classes are intended to represent the specification of the filesystem, not the actual contents / runtime state of interacting with a given smart card.

BER-TLV EF (Entry File) in the smart card filesystem. A BER-TLV EF is a binary file with a BER (Basic Encoding Rules) TLV structure
NOTE: We currently don’t really support those, this class is simply a wrapper around TransparentEF as a place-holder, so we can already define EFs of BER-TLV type without fully supporting them.

A DataObject (DO) in the sense of ISO 7816-4. Contrary to ‘normal’ TLVs where one simply has any number of different TLVs that may occur in any order at any point, ISO 7816 has the habit of specifying TLV data but with very spcific ordering, or specific choices of tags at specific points in a stream. This class tries to represent this.
- Parameters:
name – A brief, all-lowercase, underscore separated string identifier
desc – A human-readable description of what this DO represents
tag – The tag associated with this DO

- Returns:
bytes remaining at end of ‘do’ after parsing one TLV/DO.
- abstract to_bytes() bytes ¶
Encode the internal state of this instance into the TLV value part. :returns: binary bytes encoding the internal state
- to_dict() dict ¶
Return a dict in form “name: decoded_value”
- to_tlv() bytes ¶
Encode internal representation to binary TLV. :returns: bytes encoded in TLV format.
- class pySim.utils.DataObjectChoice(name: str, desc: str | None = None, members=None)¶
One Data Object from within a choice, identified by its tag. This means that exactly one member of the choice must occur, and which one occurs depends on the tag.
- decode(binary: bytes) Tuple[dict, bytes] ¶
Decode a single DOs from the choice based on the tag. :param binary: binary bytes of encoded data
- Returns:
tuple of (decoded_result, binary_remainder)
- class pySim.utils.DataObjectCollection(name: str, desc: str | None = None, members=None)¶
A DataObjectCollection consits of multiple Data Objects identified by their tags. A given encoded DO may contain any of them in any order, and may contain multiple instances of each DO.
- decode(binary: bytes) Tuple[List, bytes] ¶
Decode any number of DOs from the collection until the end of the input data, or uninitialized memory (0xFF) is found. :param binary: binary bytes of encoded data
- Returns:
tuple of (decoded_result, binary_remainder)
- class pySim.utils.DataObjectSequence(name: str, desc: str | None = None, sequence=None)¶
A sequence of DataObjects or DataObjectChoices. This allows us to express a certain ordered sequence of DOs or choices of DOs that have to appear as per the specification. By wrapping them into this formal DataObjectSequence, we can offer convenience methods for encoding or decoding an entire sequence.
- decode(binary: bytes) Tuple[list, bytes] ¶
Decode a sequence by calling the decoder of each element in the sequence. :param binary: binary bytes of encoded data
- Returns:
tuple of (decoded_result, binary_remainder)
- decode_multi(do: bytes) Tuple[list, bytes] ¶
Decode multiple occurrences of the sequence from the binary input data. :param do: binary input data to be decoded

list of results of the decoder of this sequences
- encode(decoded) bytes ¶

- encode_multi(decoded) bytes ¶
Encode multiple occurrences of the sequence from the decoded input data. :param decoded: list of json-serializable input data; one sequence per list item
- Returns:
binary encoded output data
- class pySim.utils.JsonEncoder(*, skipkeys=False, ensure_ascii=True, check_circular=True, allow_nan=True, sort_keys=False, indent=None, separators=None, default=None)¶
Extend the standard library JSONEncoder with support for more types.
Constructor for JSONEncoder, with sensible defaults.
If skipkeys is false, then it is a TypeError to attempt encoding of keys that are not str, int, float or None. If skipkeys is True, such items are simply skipped.
If ensure_ascii is true, the output is guaranteed to be str objects with all incoming non-ASCII characters escaped. If ensure_ascii is false, the output can contain non-ASCII characters.
If check_circular is true, then lists, dicts, and custom encoded objects will be checked for circular references during encoding to prevent an infinite recursion (which would cause an OverflowError). Otherwise, no such check takes place.
If allow_nan is true, then NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity will be encoded as such. This behavior is not JSON specification compliant, but is consistent with most JavaScript based encoders and decoders. Otherwise, it will be a ValueError to encode such floats.
If sort_keys is true, then the output of dictionaries will be sorted by key; this is useful for regression tests to ensure that JSON serializations can be compared on a day-to-day basis.
If indent is a non-negative integer, then JSON array elements and object members will be pretty-printed with that indent level. An indent level of 0 will only insert newlines. None is the most compact representation.
If specified, separators should be an (item_separator, key_separator) tuple. The default is (’, ‘, ‘: ‘) if indent is
None
and (‘,’, ‘: ‘) otherwise. To get the most compact JSON representation, you should specify (‘,’, ‘:’) to eliminate whitespace.If specified, default is a function that gets called for objects that can’t otherwise be serialized. It should return a JSON encodable version of the object or raise a
TypeError
.- default(o)¶
Implement this method in a subclass such that it returns a serializable object for
o
, or calls the base implementation (to raise aTypeError
).For example, to support arbitrary iterators, you could implement default like this:
def default(self, o): try: iterable = iter(o) except TypeError: pass else: return list(iterable) # Let the base class default method raise the TypeError return JSONEncoder.default(self, o)
- class pySim.utils.TL0_DataObject(name: str, desc: str, tag: int, val=None)¶
