Raspberry Pi + Python + mxgxw/MFRC522-python - Dump RFID Tag data one-by-one, and detect tag remove

Last post about RFID Tag "Raspberry Pi 2 + MFRC522-python - Dump RFID Tag data using mxgxw/MFRC522-python" demo the Dump.py from mxgxw/MFRC522-python. It loop to read and display RFID Tag data, not easy for checking. So I modify it to dump RFID Tag data one-by-one, and detect card remove.

pyDump1.py, exit once tag data dump finished.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf8 -*-

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import MFRC522
import signal

continue_reading = True

# Capture SIGINT for cleanup when the script is aborted
def end_read(signal,frame):
    global continue_reading
    print "Ctrl+C captured, ending read."
    continue_reading = False
    GPIO.cleanup()

# Hook the SIGINT
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, end_read)

print "Place card please..."

# Create an object of the class MFRC522
MIFAREReader = MFRC522.MFRC522()

# This loop keeps checking for chips. If one is near it will get the UID and authenticate
while continue_reading:
    
    # Scan for cards    
    (status,TagType) = MIFAREReader.MFRC522_Request(MIFAREReader.PICC_REQIDL)

    # If a card is found
    if status == MIFAREReader.MI_OK:
        print "Card detected"
    
    # Get the UID of the card
    (status,uid) = MIFAREReader.MFRC522_Anticoll()

    # If we have the UID, continue
    if status == MIFAREReader.MI_OK:

        # Print UID
        print "Card read UID: "+str(uid[0])+","+str(uid[1])+","+str(uid[2])+","+str(uid[3])
    
        # This is the default key for authentication
        key = [0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF]
        
        # Select the scanned tag
        MIFAREReader.MFRC522_SelectTag(uid)

        # Dump the data
        MIFAREReader.MFRC522_DumpClassic1K(key, uid)

        # Stop
        MIFAREReader.MFRC522_StopCrypto1()
        
        print "--- Finished ---"
        continue_reading = False
        
GPIO.cleanup()

pyDump2.py, wait tag remove after data dump. I assume tag removed if 5 times of MIFAREReader.MFRC522_Request() not OK.
