Issues with programming, Bitcoin, Private Keys, and Public Keys

what you said for privkey=3 is the same as what i'm getting -- long number starting with "112",
so i don't know what you're talking about...if you're not seeing those numbers, or seeing them
in e number notation , then you may be right that the python code would need to converted
or somehow configured...should be easy enough... google is your friend...  sorry I don't have
time to help further on that.

Thanks Jonald.  If you do find out what version of python you have on your computer that might make a difference for me too, then I can find out what the differences were between your version and mine.

I run python 2.7.

Thanks Jonald, I reverted my Python from 3.3 to 2.7.  Though I noticed some interesting things;

Some addresses produce the correct x,y coordinate, some do not.  Its really weird.  I verify the coordinates for the given private key with Bitcoin Address Utility.  

So far, these three addresses produce x,y coordinates that don't match the utility:

218177
823783908234
1257139

But several others do match, go figure.
