n00b: Loading a ed25519 key pair from base64 string

[FrankC01]

Beginner:

Where can I create a ed25519 keypair (public key and private key) from a base64 string or it's decoded bytes?

In this project you'll want to look at https://pynacl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/signing/#nacl.signing.SigningKey

That expects 32 bytes, however the keypair is stored, for example:

That's likely the 64 byte form, which pynacl doesn't directly support loading at this time (see: #648)

Thanks, I'm loading the Signing key just fine now.
