Ah, sorry, that wasn't clear to me.

Indeed, which is why I've done a lot of work on a reimplementation of
the Bitcoin scripting system as well:

https://github.com/petertodd/python-bitcoinlib/blob/master/bitcoin/core/scripteval.py

Which has this cheery warning at the top:

"""Script evaluation

Be warned that there are highly likely to be consensus bugs in this
code; it is unlikely to match Satoshi Bitcoin exactly. Think carefully
before using this module.
"""

I'll be adding a FFI interface to libconsensus in the future... and I
probably should make that warning scarier...
