  There should be few third party modules or python modules for NFC. Need to check in pypi for the modules.
  
  A Casual 'Python modules for NFC' google search revealed below:
  
  nfcpy in Launchpad
  #-Link-Snipped-#
  
  seems like launchpad is being suggested.

  Also : just a side note
  so that you don't end up screwing up your python environment, you can try the package in virtual environment within python. 'virtualenv' will create isolated environments (as in your case 1 for each python nfc module you try) and what ever module is suitable, you can later install the complete module.

  NFCpy lib from LP looks better than libnfc of google-code. Today, just after posting here I read documentation in #-Link-Snipped-# for basics & decided to go for the one of launchpad.
  
  BTW Thank you @#-Link-Snipped-# especially for 'virtual environment' suggestion, I know I am gonna end up messing Py-environment. This will help me a lot.
  However, I've never created islolated python env,ever. Gotta read documentation for that too.
  Thanks, again.

  no worries!
  virtualenv creates isolated env . It creates files for each third party module you create, you only have to install it. The doc by pypi will help you. If you need any help let me know, I can provide you steps to do the same.
