Do you like Python and the strange ed25519 API but feel that the
supercop-ref10 implementation is too safe? Do you have trouble using a
C compiler? Do you want your signing operations to take significantly
less time than 17 seconds, but 124 microseconds is too fast, and 16.7
ms is just right? If so, you might like the highly experimental and
quite untested https://bitbucket.org/dholth/ed25519ll/changeset/8a0cf2d

Thanks Brian for pointing me to Ron Garret's implementation. ed25519ll
and ed25519ll.ed25519py present the exact same API to the C and Python
implementations, and they are compatible based on rudimentary initial
tests.
