Python Now Has a Post-Quantum Encryption Library

The Python cryptography library (pyca/cryptography) now supports post-quantum encryption standards ML-KEM and ML-DSA, funded by the Sovereign Tech Agency. This implementation makes NIST-standard post-quantum cryptographic primitives easily accessible to Python developers through a simple pip install, enabling proactive preparation for quantum computing threats.

This is good : Post-quantum cryptography is now one pip-install away for the entire Python ecosystem. With funding from the Sovereign Tech Agency , we implemented support for ML-KEM, the NIST-standard key-establishment primitive, and ML-DSA, the NIST-standard digital-signature primitive, in pyca/cryptography. Remember, the reason to do this now is because there’s no emergency. And because you will make your systems crypto agile, which is always a good idea.
