>
> 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.
