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.
