Shooters Shoot...
Here is sample Python code to convert private keys into uncompressed and compressed public keys:

Code:
import binascii, hashlib, base58, sys, ecdsa, codecs
arq1 = open('output-uncompublickeys.txt', 'a')
arq2 = open('output-compublickeys.txt', 'a')

def uncom(prky):

    zk = ecdsa.SigningKey.from_string(prky.decode('hex'), curve=ecdsa.SECP256k1)
    zk_verify = zk.verifying_key
    z_public_key = ('\04' + zk.verifying_key.to_string()).encode('hex')
    arq1.write("%s \n" % z_public_key)
   

def com(prky):
   
    pvby = codecs.decode (prky, 'hex')
   
    #Generates the public key
    key = ecdsa.SigningKey.from_string (pvby, curve=ecdsa.SECP256k1).verifying_key
    kbs = key.to_string()
    kh = codecs.encode(kbs, 'hex')

    if(ord(bytearray.fromhex(kh[-2:])) % 2 == 0):
        #If the last byte of Y is Even, add '02'
        pkc = '02' + kh[0:64]
        arq2.write("%s \n" % pkc)

    else:
        #If the last byte of Y is Odd, add '03'
        pkc = '03' + kh[0:64]
        arq2.write("%s \n" % pkc)

with open("input-privatekeyslist.txt") as file:
    for line in file:

        prky = str.strip(line)
        uncom(prky)
        com(prky)


If you receive error, please post here and I will help.

I ran a test on 100,000 private keys and it worked.  If you only want uncom or com, you can delete or comment out the one you do not want.

Please not found workable script with understandable input-privatekeyslist.txt, output-publickeys.txt, errors and errors i find only. I am far from programming, I can only use someone else's script.
