addrgen - minimal Bitcoin address generator in Python
This script generates a single Bitcoin address using the compressed public key format and prints it with its private key.
The idea was to have the smallest source code possible so that it would be easy to audit and hard for anyone to hide anything nepharious. If you like this idea, you may want to check out TweetNaCl.
Usage
python addrgen.py
Generating other types of addresses
Supply the version number for your desired address with the --otherversion switch. (supported by pywallet at least)
python addrgen.py --otherversion=48
If you wish to generate addresses based on a passphrase, a given private key, or some other option look at the commented lines in the test() function.
