Comment(by nejucomo):

 Someone with more context should review this ticket and close it.

 I've attached a patch which re-enables the ecdsa module contents, unit
 tests, and build config.  Additionally, it replaces a bare "25" with a
 named constant in the module source and adds a unit test ensuring the
 serialization is exactly 25 bytes.  (This unit test will fail for
 different key sizes!)

 With these patches len(myVerifier.serialize()) == 25, which is 192 bits of
 key plus 1 byte of overhead.  There is no fluff.
