Note: you probably don't want to use this. Use pynacl instead, which has more features and is better-maintained.
This is a python binding to the "tweetnacl" cryptography library, by djb and others. The binding was originally written by Jan Mojžíš, downloaded from http://mojzis.com/software/python-tweetnacl/index.html . It was further modified by Brian Warner.
