I'm doing something wrong because i can't get the program to run.

any command i'm launching only returns the [options] tab. Even if i run --version, it's the same deal.

i tried running

pywallet.py --recover --recovsize 30.1Gio --wallet.dat --recover.dat

pywallet.py --recover --recovsize 30.1Gio --wallet.dat --recover

pywallet.py --recover --recovsize 30.1Gio --wallet.dat --recover.txt

and switching to Mio from Gio.

I tried running the web module and my browser fails to locate localhost.

Actually you don't need twisted and ecdsa if it's just for recovery, so just go back to the state where you had the first 'error' (it's not an error actually, it just warns you that some features won't work)

Thank you for answering. I ultimately managed to get the initial version install, i have no idea how though. I scratched it and installed Winpython as you said. It installed the twisted and ecsda package, however i'm still getting an error i used to get before installing twisted and ecsda:

*ecdsa is installed, if i run python -m pip install ecdsa i get the message that "requirement already satisfied. ecdsa in ...."


tried installing crypto package from here: https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation/

doesn't solve the problem.


tried installing pycrypto 2.6 as detailed here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycrypto

and i'm getting this error:

tried fixing the chmod error with MinGW https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/?source=typ_redirect

also tried fixing this according to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pycrypto/+bug/1084871  and this fix: https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/commit/68cce56d91a8b96b685d97c937a78b061afbc834


but it's not working


Basically I have no idea what i'm doing.

When i run pywallet.py nothing happens, i can't connect to localhost and i can't run even the simplest of commands like pywallet.py --version

What i need it for is to try recovering a corrupted wallet, so the only lines i'm interested in are --recover and --dumpwallet (i think).

* if i try to run the .bat file it opens cmd and then closes it, localhost can't be accessed by browser.

* tried running everything in d: instead of c: to bypass possible admin limitations, even though i'm logged as admin

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

Pywallet responds with 'Error with Dump Page'. What should I do ?
If it's a recent wallet it's because pywallet can't read them
It will handle them in the next version, no ETA though (a few weeks maybe)

Still a few weeks left before I can come back for real!

BTW I'm looking at the code I produced and I'm kinda ashamed of this ugly code, it's obvious I used pywallet to learn Python  Grin
That makes me wonder, is it still useful to have something like an updated pywallet? Because I see that the bitcoin clients have included many features and I don't know (I couldn't follow Bitcoin news for months) exactly which ones

It's good to have an updated pywallet. I would like pywallet to extract private keys in bulk from altcoins that don't have the "dumpwallet" command. To generate a bunch of addresses. Multi-sigs. ... Or if you really hate your ugly code to do it over from scratch (using the old code as a "guide".)

I have a rewritten pywallet lying around, I'll have to find it and update it with the features it misses

Hey man, if you could do it, I'd greatly appreciate it, you'd make my life much easier!

I am sure this is an great bitcoin wallet but why do python developers call everything pyxxxx? I mean, a chess game is called pychess instead of CrazyBishop, SuperSquare, MikaTal or pow8_2? Once, when I was looking for a calculator I found pycalc. What if everybody do the samething? we would end with jcalc, ncalc, scalacalc, rubycalc, calc++ and so on.

Why do you think the language is important?

I know this is old but 1) I didn't choose the name (I continued the development after joric "disappeared") and 2) there is JCalc

Hi, when I'm trying to run pywallet.py, I get following error

Pywallet requires Python 2, not 3


Does anyone know how to use this tool to recover Namecoin private keys from a corrupted encrypted wallet?

I've already tried to run the following command but everything it returns are Bitcoin public and private keys.
sudo python ./pywallet.py --recover --namecoin --recov_device /dev/sdb --recov_size 16Gio --recov_outputdir /home/username/Desktop/recovery
If the wallet is recent I'm afraid you may not be able to recover it (wallet format has changed since I last updated Pywallet)

But if it did return public/private keys then you may be lucky
In this case this should be rather easy to translate them into Namecoin, but before, do you know how to import a private key into a Namecoin wallet?

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
Will this work on mac?

Yes. It's written in Python.

P.S. From Github pywallet repo:

Dependencies for Mac OS X:
 1. Install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/
 2. sudo port install python27 py27-twisted py27-pip py-bsddb python_select
 3. sudo port select --set python python27
 4. sudo easy_install ecdsa
