   Description     : Pure Python ctypes wrapper for libsecp256k1

   This package provides a pure Python interface to the native C library
libsecp256k1, which is a highly optimized library for cryptographic
operations on the secp256k1 elliptic curve.
  .
  Unlike other wrappers that might embed or compile their own C code,
this package leverages the system-installed version of libsecp256k1,
ensuring compatibility and security by relying on a trusted, widely-used
and maintained system library.
  .
  It utilizes the Python ctypes foreign function library to dynamically
load and call functions from libsecp256k1 at runtime, providing a
low-overhead and efficient bridge between Python and the
high-performance C implementation.
  .
  This package is an essential component for projects requiring fast and
secure Elliptic Curve Cryptography, such as the Electrum Bitcoin wallet,
and is suitable for developers needing to perform tasks like key
generation, ECDSA signature verification, and Schnorr signatures.
