Installation

python-xeddsa depends on two system libraries, libxeddsa>=2,<3, and libsodium.

Install the latest release using pip (pip install XEdDSA), from the wheels available in the artifacts of the Test & Publish workflow, or manually from source by running pip install . in the cloned repository. The installation from source requires libxeddsa, libsodium and the Python development headers to be installed.

Usage with Brython

python-xeddsa can be used in the browser with Brython, thanks to the Emscripten build of libxeddsa. Refer to tests/test_brython.html for the setup routine required to load the Emscripten build for usage with Brython. In summary, Brython’s initialization is deferred until after the libxeddsa WebAssembly module and wrapper have been loaded. Other than that, python-xeddsa can be used as usual and handled with Brython like a pure Python package.
