Could not build wheels for pyscard

[Pvanalitics]

MacOS
pyscard==2.0.9
python3.8

Hello, I'm having problems installing pyscard in docker. The error appears when I build Docker. This error does not appear if I try to install the library locally on a Mac.
10.51 Failed to build pyscard
ERROR 10.51: Could not create disks for pyscard, which are required to install projects based on pyproject.toml.
These are my requirements.txt:
pip~=23.2.1
openpyxl~=3.1.2
pyTelegramBotAPI~=4.17.0
smart card~=0.3
requests~=2.31.0
PySmartCard~=1.4.1
USB~=0.0.83.dev0
pyscard==2.0.9

Help me please!

I have no idea what "disks" are.
I do not use docker myself.

Why do you use PySmartCard?

I ran into this issue just now as well. I think "disks" it a translation issue. For me, it says, "ERROR: Could not build wheels for pyscard, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects." So, the "disks" are Python wheels.

I'm not sure what is responsible for printing these errors, but I initially missed the problem:

$ pip install pyscard

After installing swig, installing pyscard worked for me.

@supersat your error message is explicit: Install swig and try again

I already fixed the problem in 84235c9
I need to make a new release.

Version 2.0.10 just released
https://blog.apdu.fr/posts/2024/06/new-version-of-pyscard-2010/

Maybe this also solves the issue with docker.

Hello. We hit the following error during a build in homebrew:

The odd thing is that we provide our own swig in homebrew. 84235c9 enforces the usage of swig provided by pip, which is not something we would like to do (and that swig build seems to fail for another reason we did not investigate. Maybe there is a way to allow an external swig as build dep?

[LudovicRousseau]

@iMichka your issue is different.

I suggest you to patch pyproject.toml and remove swig.
