   Description : Python implementation of the SLH-DSA signature scheme

slh-dsa is a Python implementation of SLH-DSA, the stateless
hash-based digital signature algorithm standardized in FIPS 205.
It provides the public Python module "slhdsa" and supports Python 3.
The package has no third-party runtime dependencies.
.
Performance-sensitive modules can optionally be compiled into CPython
extension modules using mypyc. The upstream project uses setuptools as
its PEP 517 build backend and provides automated tests, continuous
integration, and binary-wheel builds through cibuildwheel.
.
The project has been actively maintained over the past three years,
with its most recent upstream commit approximately one month ago. It
currently receives approximately 150,000 downloads per month from
PyPI and is used as a direct dependency by trezor-firmware.
.
I intend to maintain this package in Debian. The proposed binary
package name is python3-slhdsa. I am not yet a Debian Developer and
will seek sponsorship for the initial upload.
