python-ed25519 MemoryError

[Kevin-Chen0]

I have ran this code:

prikey, pubkey = Ed25519Cipher.generate_keys()

Generated this error:

  File "C:\<>\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\ed25519\keys.py", line 85, in __init__
    vk_s, sk_s = _ed25519.publickey(sk_s)

MemoryError

Apparently, this is a common issue for ed25519. Also I am using Python 3.6.7.

hm... i cant reproduce it, neither in Linux environment nor in Windows.
There is a way around - to replace ed25519 package with PyNaCl https://pynacl.readthedocs.io/en/stable/signing/#ed25519. But first the ciphers need proper interface class - so MAML class would be independent from sig scheme as it should. I can write specs and open the issue and you can contribute. You wanted to contribute to the code after all, right? ;)

I do want to contribute. Can you push the branch with the specs so I can work on it?
Thanks for your work!
