Detection of country/network code fail reading Italian venice transport operator about cardpeek

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The script uses an heuristic method to find the country code. Apparently it 
doesn't work with the Italian Venice transport operator data. I'm not sure I 
can fix this.

I also have a problem reading the country code on the Israeli calypso transport 
card (RavKav).
calypso.lua does this:
    country_bin = bytes.sub(data,13,24)
    network_bin = bytes.sub(data,25,36)
but the Israeli Calypso Spec says:
    version     = bytes.sub(data,0,2)
    country_bin = bytes.sub(data,3,14)
    issuer_id   = bytes.sub(data,15,22)
    app_number  = bytes.sub(data,23,48)
    ...etc.
So the country code is at a different offset!

This is unfortunate. I was hoping that the country code would be always at the 
same place, as was verified on French and Belgian cards. I guess that detecting 
the card country is going to be more complicated than I was hoping. Perhaps I 
will have to rely on the ATR or something.

Would you have the specs of the RavKav card to share with me <L1L1 _at_ 
gmx.com>? Perhaps I can figure out something form them.

I will close this issue since the network detection algorithm has changed a lot 
in Cardpeek.
If I get access one day to the specs of the venice transport card, we might be 
able to add it to cardpeek.
