Description

ecdsa (https://pypi.org/project/ecdsa/) is a popular pure-Python ECDSA cryptographic signature library. It's not currently packaged in Wolfi for any Python version.

Proposing to add it as py3-ecdsa following the multi-Python-version subpackage pattern used by other pure-Python packages such as py3-roman and py3-jinja2.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing py3-roman and py3-jinja2 package recipes to follow Wolfi’s multi-Python-version subpackage pattern, then review the upstream python-ecdsa metadata. Done means py3-ecdsa is packaged for the relevant Python versions with the MIT license, version 0.19.2, and runtime dependency py3-six.
