The library `pysodium` is used as "a very simple wrapper around libsodium masquerading as nacl". `libnacl` is another wrapper around the nacl library developed and maintained by the Salt project and with extensive documentation on https://libnacl.readthedocs.io and has been update to use the `pyproject.toml` format.
