It supports standard curves like secp256k1 and allows you to construct keys, sign messages, verify signatures, and perform point operations directly in Python without compiled dependencies.\n\nThe library is designed for developers who need elliptic curve operations in pure Python\u2014useful for educational purposes, prototyping, or environments where compiled cryptographic libraries are unavailable. It handles curve definitions, key management, and signature verification, though its aging maintenance status (last release October 2020) means it may lack recent security improvements or compatibility fixes.","worth_installing":"Yes, with caution. ECPy is suitable for educational use, prototyping, and non-critical applications where pure Python is required. However, for production systems handling sensitive data, consider whether the aging maintenance (last release October 2020) and lack of recent security updates pose acceptable risk. No known vulnerabilities are recorded, but the long gap since the last release means undetected issues may exist. Verify compatibility with your Python version and security requirements before use."},"id":"ecpy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ecpy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ecpy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ecpy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-10-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ECPy","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Pure Pyhton Elliptic Curve Library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":267758,"position":8286,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.5"}
