This Python 3 code implements Galois field (finite field) arithmetic in pure Python, This Python 3 code implements Galois field (finite field) arithmetic in pure Python,
leveraging Python's support for very long integers. leveraging Python's support for very long integers.
Because it's in pure Python, it's relatively slow --- don't use it for performance-critical
applications.
Instead, use it to _verify_ other implementations, or to understand how Galois field calculations work.
