Here is some quick and dirty python code that uses pyscard and prints the UID (with assertions in lieu of actual error handling) by sending the APDU from Patrick's answer.

from smartcard.scard import *

hresult, hcontext = SCardEstablishContext(SCARD_SCOPE_USER)

assert hresult==SCARD_S_SUCCESS

hresult, readers = SCardListReaders(hcontext, [])

assert len(readers)>0

reader = readers[0]

hresult, hcard, dwActiveProtocol = SCardConnect(
    hcontext,
    reader,
    SCARD_SHARE_SHARED,
    SCARD_PROTOCOL_T0 | SCARD_PROTOCOL_T1)

hresult, response = SCardTransmit(hcard,dwActiveProtocol,[0xFF,0xCA,0x00,0x00,0x00])

print(response)

You should use APDU commands for this to work. The command to get UID is 0xFF,0xCA,0x00,0x00,0x00 in case of a mifare card.

Follow this link and look under high level api. This should give you an idea.

The best way to use is pyscard (Python module) or Java Smart Card I/O (part of Java JDK)
