Ethereum BIP44 Python

*Code adapted from two1 library for bitcoin by 21 Inc. (https://github.com/21dotco/two1-python/tree/master/two1)

Requirements

Python packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt

Imports:
from crypto import HDPrivateKey, HDPublicKey, HDKey

BIP32 Master Keys Creation:

master_key, mnemonic = HDPrivateKey.master_key_from_entropy()
print('BIP32 Wallet Generated.')  
print('Mnemonic Secret: ' + mnemonic)

Accounts creation

Creation of multiple accounts under master key derived from seed phrase. Compatible with Metamask. You can just restore your wallet with seed phrase and get access to all the accounts under master key via Metamask.

from crypto import HDPrivateKey, HDKey
master_key = HDPrivateKey.master_key_from_mnemonic('laundry snap patient survey sleep strategy finger bone real west arch protect')
root_keys = HDKey.from_path(master_key,"m/44'/60'/0'")
acct_priv_key = root_keys[-1]
for i in range(10):
    keys = HDKey.from_path(acct_priv_key,'{change}/{index}'.format(change=0, index=i))
    private_key = keys[-1]
    public_key = private_key.public_key
    print("Index %s:" % i)
    print("  Private key (hex, compressed): " + private_key._key.to_hex())
    print("  Address: " + private_key.public_key.address())

Get Account XPUB

master_key = HDPrivateKey.master_key_from_mnemonic('laundry snap patient survey sleep strategy finger bone real west arch protect')
root_keys = HDKey.from_path(master_key,"m/44'/60'/0'")
acct_priv_key = root_keys[-1]
acct_pub_key = acct_priv_key.public_key
print('Account Master Public Key (Hex): ' + acct_pub_key.to_hex())
print('XPUB format: ' + acct_pub_key.to_b58check())

Get Address from XPUB

acct_pub_key = HDKey.from_b58check('xpub6DKMR7KpgCJbiN4TdzcqcB1Nk84D9bsYUBhbk43EjRqH4RTjz7UgGLZxcQ4JdHBSHDmTUDLApMwYHRQCbbMCPQEtcbVofZEQjFazpGPT1nW')
keys = HDKey.from_path(acct_pub_key,'{change}/{index}'.format(change=0, index=0))
address = keys[-1].address()
print('Account address: ' + address)

Get 64 Character Private Key from XPRIV

print(Private key (hex): " + private_key._key.to_hex())
