Comment(by warner):

 pycryptopp-0.5.13, released a week or two ago, added ecdsa! But then it
 got yanked, because the KDF (the code that interprets the random string
 you pass into {{{SigningKey}}}) is not yet in a form that Zooko feels
 comfortable supporting in the long run (and it's a significant
 compatibility issue, to make sure that generating a key from string ABC
 will keep generating the same key in the future).

 So close!
