The library `pysodium` is used as "a very simple wrapper around libsodium masquerading as nacl". `libnacl` is another wrapper around the nacl library developed and maintained by the Salt project and with extensive documentation on https://libnacl.readthedocs.io and has been update to use the `pyproject.toml` format. The status of this library is marked as `5 - Production/Stable` on PyPI. The `pysodium` library has a bare bone repository with no documentation available and still uses the old 'setup.py' format. The status of this library is marked as `4 - Beta` on PyPI.

The only thing I worry about is a chance to break projects relying on pysodium but not adding it as a dependency explicitly. But I guess it's a pretty exotic case. |

Thanks for the positive feedback. Another motivation is to package pytezos (or at least the cryptography part) in Nixpkgs, which has libnacl already packaged but not |
