Pywallet 2.2: manage your wallet [Update required]

[kodo]

Wow this is great thanks

[phelix]

I like putting everything into a single file because I find it easier to track and easier for newbies
I can split it in three though and then push the four files to github

Don't worry, it's your project after all.

Is it possible to convert tx_k tx_v to a raw transaction that can be sent by sendrawtransaction from within the newer clients?

[mezzomix]

Do you think pywallet would be more practical as a Qt app?
As I said earlier I'm wondering about recoding everything. It's far from sure but if I decide to I'd like to know how to make it more user-friendly.

I would vote for a CLI. A seperate GUI is fine as well. A single pywallet with additional dependencies makes this great tool harder to use. But it's your tool - you decide.

tx_k is useless because it is '027478' (well I think so) + little endian tx id
As far as I can remember, tx_v is not only the transaction: the bitcoin client adds some data (the transaction of its inputs if the client has them in its blockchain)
So depending on what you're trying to do you can use it directly or parse it to put it in the newer client

It's my project but I'd prefer if people like using it and find it practical
Also, I make all dependencies optional: currently you can use pywallet even if you don't have twisted+zope, you just won't be able to use the WUI. Same for ecdsa package and signature/verifications
The new pywallet would follow this rule as well

--otheraddress doesn't seem to work when dumping a Bytecoin wallet.

--otheraddress doesn't seem to work when dumping a Bytecoin wallet.

What is "doesn't work"? What would you want? What do you get? What is written in the console?

I meant --otherversion. The addresses start with 1. If I understand the documentation correctly, they should start with 8 (the Bytecoin default) when I pass in --otherversion=18.

What are you using? WUI or CLI?

What does this give you?

Code:

pywallet.py --info --importprivkey 5J6VanpiC8GjEa3PZVjJwK6xYFE8wfSHzJDzGyxn4ssHu8M3Ajv --otherversion 18

Using CLI.

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\USER\Downloads\pywallet.py", line 4518, in <module>
    if not keyinfo(options.key, options.keyishex):
  File "C:\Users\USER\Downloads\pywallet.py", line 2333, in keyinfo
    compressed = is_compressed(sec)
  File "C:\Users\USER\Downloads\pywallet.py", line 1225, in is_compressed
    return len(b) == 33
TypeError: object of type 'bool' has no len()

[jackjack]

Ok... And this?

Code:

pywallet.py --info --importhex --importprivkey 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 --otherversion 18

Could you please give me a dummy private key so that I can look at that?

Code:

Address (version 18): 1EHNa6Q4Jz2uvNExL497mE43ikXhwF6kZm
Privkey (version 18): 5togkrXfR7k4gmqyMdctFpY4heuqup2qtKLicsRt8fyd3wD7gay

From a quick glance I don't see where the problem can be
I'll work on it in around 3-4 hours and will report info here

Alright, and thank you for the help (and also for this amazing program).

[jackjack]

Fixed in the last version, 2.0.12. It was because of a Python behavior I didn't even know.

It will print this:

Code:

Warning: adress prefix seems bad (128 vs 176)

Just ignore it, it's because Litecoin doesn't use the same private key rules than Bitcoin

[jackjack]

Could you please report any success so that I know if it works? I don't have Litecoin

Did you ever think about including BIP 0038 into pywallet to be able to export encrypted private keys?

Actually no, I left before the BIP concept creation and since I'm back I'm working on several projects so I'm not aware about any BIPs. I know I have to catch up but well...
That definitely seems a good feature to add. I can't give any ETA though, it will vary according to the demand.

I get an error in setup tools "python 2.7 not found in the registry., even though python is installed. what the fuck? edit: i was running the 64 bit version. on a hunch, i reinstalled with the 32 bit version and voila. thanks for your great prog! works wonders!

Great tool - incredibly useful!

I am currently importing a large amount of addresses via csv file.
Are there any stats/info on how long it takes for say every thousand addresses imported?

Thanks
If you have any comments/suggestions/critics I'd be happy
