Description: PySkein is an extension module for Python, implementing the
        Skein hash algorithm, one of the finalists in the
        NIST SHA-3 Competition. While originally based on the
        optimized version of the reference implementation by Doug
        Whiting, PySkein is now feature complete and offers a
        pythonic interface, all released as free software under the
        GNU General Public License. Its highlights are:
        
        * Simple interface following the hash algorithms in the
          Python standard library (like hashlib.sha1 or
          hashlib.sha256)
        
        * All features of the Skein specification
          (flexible digest sizes, MAC generation, tree hashing, and
          various other arguments)
        
        * High performance through optimized C implementation
          (7.1 cycles/byte for sequential hashing and 4.2 cycles/byte
          for tree hashing on two cores, measured on an Athlon 64 X2)
        
        * Threefish, the tweakable block cipher used in Skein,
          available for encryption and decryption on its own
