This is still just an idea, but it would allow for a pure python
deployment of encrypted code to systems that do not have libsodium

This would greatly simplify the initial block because of a missing libsodium package which happens on some distros

Yes, and tweetnacl is very small, I don't think it would even be much slower since the operations are all very raw.
@cro per our earlier conversation. Let me know when you have some cycles to talk about this again

Tweetnacl does not need libsodium?

[s0undt3ch]

Where have you found the pure python tweetnacl?

I found 2 and both require C compilation...

[thatch45]

There is not a pure python implementation out there. We would need to write
it.

Yes, I am insane...
BUT! TweetNACL is CRAZY small, it would be the only fully autidable crypto lib written entirely in python, and I bet we could get guys to review it, if anything just because it will be so small

So what you are saying is that there is a method to your madness. 😆

I have seen talk of a number of these, so I think a reliable one exists somewhere

[thatch45]

Just fyi, this is under development and review

[thatch45]

I think that pyNACL is a great idea, if someone wants to get this merged into libnacl I am all on board. But I will ask that PR gets opened
