Base58 Class¶
This class serves as an abstraction layer to deal with base58 encoded strings and their corresponding hex and binary representation throughout the library.
Examples:¶
format(Base58("02b52e04a0acfe611a4b6963462aca94b6ae02b24e321eda86507661901adb49"),"wif")
repr(Base58("5HqUkGuo62BfcJU5vNhTXKJRXuUi9QSE6jp8C3uBJ2BVHtB8WSd"))
Output::
"5HqUkGuo62BfcJU5vNhTXKJRXuUi9QSE6jp8C3uBJ2BVHtB8WSd"
"02b52e04a0acfe611a4b6963462aca94b6ae02b24e321eda86507661901adb49"

Base58
(data, prefix=None)¶ Base58 base class
This class serves as an abstraction layer to deal with base58 encoded strings and their corresponding hex and binary representation throughout the library.
Parameters: - data (hex, wif, bip38 encrypted wif, base58 string) – Data to initialize object, e.g. pubkey data, address data, …
- prefix (str) – Prefix to use for Address/PubKey strings (defaults to
GPH
)
Returns: Base58 object initialized with
data
Return type: Raises: ValueError – if data cannot be decoded
bytes(Base58)
: Returns the raw datastr(Base58)
: Returns the readableBase58CheckEncoded
data.repr(Base58)
: Gives the hex representation of the data.format(Base58,_format)
Formats the instance according to_format
: *"wif"
: prefixed with0x00
. Yields a valid wif key *"bts"
: prefixed withBTS
* etc.
