## Python Now Has a Post-Quantum Encryption Library

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.
