Ethereum Library: HD key/address generation python
As an ethereum developer, you need a reliable way to generate high quality HD keys and addresses for your projects. This article provides a Python library that meets your requirements.
Overview
This library uses a module SECP256K1
from the Bitcoin Foundation to get HD keys and addresses from private keys. It is designed to be fast, safe and easy to use.
Installation
Run this command to install the library:
`bash
PIP install secp256k1-py
`
Usage
Create a new Python file (eg `Ethereum_utils.py
) and import the library:
Python
Import the SECP256K1
Def Derive_HD_KEY (Private_Key):
"" ""
Retrieve the HD key from a private key.
Args:
Private_Key (bytes): Private key to get.
Return:
Bytes: Derivated HD key.
"" ""
Return SECP256K1DERIVE_PRIVATE_KEY (Private_Key)
Def Gare_Address (HD_KEY, Network):
"" ""
Generate the address from the HD key and network.
Args:
HD_KEY (bytes): HD key for use.
Network (ST): Ethereum network usable (eg "Mainnet", "Testnet").
Return:
ST: Generated address.
"" ""
Return Sec256K1.Hodl (HD_KEY, Network)
Example Use
Here is an example of how you can use the library:
`Python
Import Ethereum_utils
Generate a private key from the seed phrase
Seed_Frase = "Your_seed_phrase_here"
Private_Key = ethereum_utils.derive_hd_key.from_secret (seed_frase)
Derive HD key
HD_KEY = Ethereum_utils.derive_HD_KEY (Private_Key)
Generate the address Mainnet
Address = Ethereum_utils.generate_address (HD_KEY, "Mainnet")
Print (address)
Network typical settings
The library uses a module Sec256K1
to get HD keys and addresses. However, it also provides some network -specific settings that you can use depending on your needs.
- To generate test network addresses, the
Genere_Address ()
Genere_Address ()
SetNetwork =" TESTNET.
- To generate Mainnet addresses,Generate_Address ()
Genere_Address ()
- You can also specify a specific version of the network (eg "Mainnet-V1.0") by passing it as an argumentDecive_hd_key ()
and
Genere_Address () Functions.
Commit to report guidelines
For your commitment to the message, follow these guidelines:
- Use current tension (eg “Add library to the HD key/address for generation”)
- Save message to a concise and descriptive
- Avoid using abbreviations and acronyms unless they are widely recognized in the public
Here is an example of a well -formatted commitment report:
`bash
Git’s commitment -m “Add library to the HD key/address to generate”
`
By following these guidelines, you can create a reliable and maintained Python library that helps generate high quality HD keys and addresses for your Ethereum projects.
