Indy Crypto for Python

This is a Python wrapper for Indy. It is implemented using a foreign function interface (FFI) to a native library written in Rust. Indy is the open-source codebase behind the Sovrin network for self-sovereign digital identity.

This Python wrapper currently requires python 3.6.
