import ed25519._ed25519 works in powershell but not GAE

Question

Does anyone have suggestions as to why I am getting the error below when using GAE and not with powershell? pip install comes back with requirement is already satisfied.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Answer 1

You cannot import C extension modules into a GAE application. ed25519._ed25519 is an extension module written in C.

You must find an implementation of Ed25519 that doesn't require the use of a C extension.
