Pywallet 2.2: manage your wallet [Update required]

[digaran]

Requirements:
 Python 2.5-2.7, with bsddb package
 ÃƒÆ’ƒÆ’Æ’Æ’Æ’ÃÆ’¢â‚¬Å¡ twisted package is necessary if you want to use the web interface
 ÃƒÆ’ƒÆ’Æ’Æ’Æ’ÃÆ’¢â‚¬Å¡ ecdsa package is necessary if you want to sign and verify messages

Can someone please explain this gibberish to me, or am I the only one seeing them like that?

It seems to be just gibberish added sometime between 2014 and 2016: https://web.archive.org/web/20140417115312/https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=34028

I'm not able to get a specific time this happened given that loyce.club doesn't keep an edit history, and ninjastic was too new to be able to capture the edit which occurred many years ago.

But I don't think it was intentional. Maybe it's some Unicode that's been trashed by the Windows character encoding.

Last edit on the OP (according to BCT) appears to have been in September 2014:


Seems to check out, with that wayback machine URL showing the post in April 2014 not having the weird characters.

Trying to recover a corrupt wallet. Installed python and pywallet on a DigitalOcean VPS, copied over the wallet file and got this:

Code:

root@GB-Tron2:~/Test# python2.7 pywallet/pywallet.py --dumpwallet --wallet=testwallet.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pywallet/pywallet.py", line 5004, in <module>
    db_env = create_env(db_dir)
  File "pywallet/pywallet.py", line 1269, in create_env
    r = db_env.open(db_dir, (DB_CREATE|DB_INIT_LOCK|DB_INIT_LOG|DB_INIT_MPOOL|DB_INIT_TXN|DB_THREAD|DB_RECOVER))
bsddb.db.DBNoSuchFileError: (2, 'No such file or directory -- /root/.bitcoin/__db.001: No such file or directory')

Any ideas?

Edit: never mind. Looks like pywallet needs you to specify the directory for wallet.dat, even if it's the current one.

What do you mean by: Looks like pywallet needs you to specify the directory for wallet.dat, even if it's the current one?

Hello, I'm getting this error when I try to install. I did manage to install it 2 years ago on win 8, but now I am running windows 10.

Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

The problem is that the installation file you use is quite old and must be updated

Instead do that:
It would be easier to install WinPython (choose 32 or 64bit depending on your computer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpython/files/WinPython_2.7/2.7.12.4/)

• Go where you installed it
• Launch "WinPython Command Prompt.exe"
• Execute this: python -m pip install twisted ecdsa
• Then: python C:\path\to\pywallet.py

Is this the latest pywallet? will it work with win11? is there a written or video step by step idiot guide to how to install and run both python, and pywallet please?
Would someone be able to help guide through installation and operation of both even for a fee?
