Python implementation of bs58check?

[ptrk]

Is there somewhere a bs58check library in Python available? All I could find was a NodeJs implementation. I need to convert Bitcoin addresses to Bitcoin Gold addresses and I read using bs58check is the best way to do so.

have you tried this?

Hi,

it's not a library but if you are interested in how to implement it I did at https://github.com/darosior/bitcoineasy/blob/995b98f9c440aa4fa3c428750f51b7a59b327fad/bitcoineasy/utils.py#L77

Thanks, I know this page and the bitcointalk thread. However, the library it uses is the one (NodeJs lib) I mentioned in my first post.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I will try it but it looks good so far.

https://github.com/keis/base58 (https://pypi.org/project/base58/) could be what you need.

Straight Forward Python Implementation Of bs58check

var bs58check = require('bs58check')

var decoded = bs58check.decode('5Kd3NBUAdUnhyzenEwVLy9pBKxSwXvE9FMPyR4UKZvpe6E3AgLr')

console.log(decoded)
// => <Buffer 80 ed db dc 11 68 f1 da ea db d3 e4 4c 1e 3f 8f 5a 28 4c 20 29 f7 8a d2 6a f9 85 83 a4 99 de 5b 19>

console.log(bs58check.encode(decoded))
// => 5Kd3NBUAdUnhyzenEwVLy9pBKxSwXvE9FMPyR4UKZvpe6E3AgLr

You need to provide the source when you copy/paste something. I assume you took that from here - https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bs58check
You first post could be a reason for getting banned, so be careful with that.

It seems to be from the mentioned source.The snippet works if the appropriate library is imported.

My question is solved. I lock this thread.
