PyNaCl: Python binding to the libsodium library
===============================================

.. image:: https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/pynacl.svg
    :target: https://pypi.org/project/PyNaCl/
    :alt: Latest Version

PyNaCl is a Python binding to `libsodium`_, which is a fork of the
`Networking and Cryptography library`_. These libraries have a stated goal of
improving usability, security and speed. It supports Python 3.8+ as well as
PyPy 3.

Features
--------

* Digital signatures
* Secret-key encryption
* Public-key encryption
* Hashing and message authentication
* Password based key derivation and password hashing

Installation
============

Binary wheel install
--------------------

PyNaCl ships as a binary wheel on macOS, Windows and Linux ``manylinux1`` [#many]_ ,
so all dependencies are included. Make sure you have an up-to-date pip
and run:

.. code-block:: console

    $ pip install pynacl

Faster wheel build
------------------

You can define the environment variable ``LIBSODIUM_MAKE_ARGS`` to pass arguments to ``make``
and enable `parallelization`_:

.. code-block:: console

    $ LIBSODIUM_MAKE_ARGS=-j4 pip install pynacl

Linux source build
------------------

PyNaCl relies on `libsodium`_, a portable C library. A copy is bundled
with PyNaCl so to install you can run:

.. code-block:: console

    $ pip install pynacl

If you'd prefer to use the version of ``libsodium`` provided by your
distribution, you can disable the bundled copy during install by running:

.. code-block:: console

    $ SODIUM_INSTALL=system pip install pynacl

.. warning:: Usage of the legacy ``easy_install`` command provided by setuptools
   is generally discouraged, and is completely unsupported in PyNaCl's case.

.. _parallelization: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Parallel.html

.. _libsodium: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium

.. [#many] `manylinux1 wheels <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/>`_
    are built on a baseline linux environment based on Centos 5.11
    and should work on most x86 and x86_64 glibc based linux environments.

GNU Make (gmake) may be required for newer versions of PyNaCl. You can
set the binary to use by setting the ``MAKE`` environment variable:

.. code-block:: console

    $ MAKE=gmake pip install pynacl

Changelog
=========

1.6.2 (2026-01-01)
------------------
* Updated ``libsodium`` to 1.0.20-stable (2025-12-31 build) to resolve
  ``CVE-2025-69277``.

1.6.1 (2025-11-10)
------------------
* The ``MAKE`` environment variable can now be used to specify the ``make``
  binary that should be used in the build process.

1.6.0 (2025-09-11)
------------------
* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE:** Removed support for Python 3.6 and 3.7.
* Added support for the low level AEAD AES bindings.
* Added support for ``crypto_core_ed25519_from_uniform``.
* Update ``libsodium`` to 1.0.20-stable (2025-08-27 build).
* Added support for free-threaded Python 3.14.
* Added support for Windows on ARM wheels.

1.5.0 (2022-01-07)
------------------

* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE:** Removed support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.5.
* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE:** We no longer distribute ``manylinux1``
  wheels.
* Added ``manylinux2014``, ``manylinux_2_24``, ``musllinux``, and macOS
  ``universal2`` wheels (the latter supports macOS ``arm64``).
* Update ``libsodium`` to 1.0.18-stable (July 25, 2021 release).
* Add inline type hints.

1.4.0 (2020-05-25)
------------------

* Update ``libsodium`` to 1.0.18.
* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE:** We no longer distribute 32-bit ``manylinux1``
  wheels. Continuing to produce them was a maintenance burden.
* Added support for Python 3.8, and removed support for Python 3.4.
* Add low level bindings for extracting the seed and the public key
  from crypto_sign_ed25519 secret key
* Add low level bindings for deterministic random generation.
* Add ``wheel`` and ``setuptools`` setup_requirements in ``setup.py`` (#485)
* Fix checks on very slow builders (#481, #495)
* Add low-level bindings to ed25519 arithmetic functions
* Update low-level blake2b state implementation
* Fix wrong short-input behavior of SealedBox.decrypt() (#517)
* Raise CryptPrefixError exception instead of InvalidkeyError when trying
  to check a password against a verifier stored in a unknown format (#519)
* Add support for minimal builds of libsodium. Trying to call functions
  not available in a minimal build will raise an UnavailableError
  exception. To compile a minimal build of the bundled libsodium, set
  the SODIUM_INSTALL_MINIMAL environment variable to any non-empty
  string (e.g. ``SODIUM_INSTALL_MINIMAL=1``) for setup.

1.3.0 2018-09-26
----------------

* Added support for Python 3.7.
* Update ``libsodium`` to 1.0.16.
* Run and test all code examples in PyNaCl docs through sphinx's
  doctest builder.
* Add low-level bindings for chacha20-poly1305 AEAD constructions.
* Add low-level bindings for the chacha20-poly1305 secretstream constructions.
* Add low-level bindings for ed25519ph pre-hashed signing construction.
* Add low-level bindings for constant-time increment and addition
  on fixed-precision big integers represented as little-endian
  byte sequences.
* Add low-level bindings for the ISO/IEC 7816-4 compatible padding API.
* Add low-level bindings for libsodium's crypto_kx... key exchange
  construction.
* Set hypothesis deadline to None in tests/test_pwhash.py to avoid
  incorrect test failures on slower processor architectures.  GitHub
  issue #370

  the same interface for all hashers.
* Added support for 128 bit ``siphashx24`` variant of ``siphash24``.

------------------

* reorder link time library search path when using bundled
  libsodium

1.1.1 - 2017-03-15
------------------

* Fixed a circular import bug in ``nacl.utils``.

1.1.0 - 2017-03-14
------------------

* Dropped support for Python 2.6.
* Added ``shared_key()`` method on ``Box``.
* You can now pass ``None`` to ``nonce`` when encrypting with ``Box`` or
  ``SecretBox`` and it will automatically generate a random nonce.
* Added support for ``siphash24``.
* Added support for ``blake2b``.
* Added support for ``scrypt``.
* Update ``libsodium`` to 1.0.11.
* Default to the bundled ``libsodium`` when compiling.

  ``nacl.exceptions.CryptoError``

1.0.1 - 2016-01-24
------------------

* Fix an issue with absolute paths that prevented the creation of wheels.

1.0 - 2016-01-23
----------------

* PyNaCl has been ported to use the new APIs available in cffi 1.0+.
  Due to this change we no longer support PyPy releases older than 2.6.
* Python 3.2 support has been dropped.
* Functions to convert between Ed25519 and Curve25519 keys have been added.

0.3.0 - 2015-03-04
------------------

* The low-level API (`nacl.c.*`) has been changed to match the
  upstream NaCl C/C++ conventions (as well as those of other NaCl bindings).
  The order of arguments and return values has changed significantly. To
  avoid silent failures, `nacl.c` has been removed, and replaced with
  `nacl.bindings` (with the new argument ordering). If you have code which
  calls these functions (e.g. `nacl.c.crypto_box_keypair()`), you must review
  the new docstrings and update your code/imports to match the new
  conventions.
