  Description     : Python wrapper around libmceliece library


libmceliece is a Classic McEliece microlibrary.
libmceliece has a very simple stateless API based on the SUPERCOP API,
with wire-format inputs and outputs, providing functions that directly match
the KEM operations provided by Classic McEliece, such as functions

mceliece6960119.keypair()
mceliece6960119.enc()
mceliece6960119.dec()
for the mceliece6960119 KEM

I need sponsor for the first upload (I'm DM).
