It seems the python script requires Crypto:Cypher, as a python noob it's a bit difficult to install it on Windows. I'm working at it, just a fair warning to newcomers.

Added a note linking to a working version of the code (details in comments)

| May 20, 2012 at 7:15 | comment | added | Andrey Fedorov | That code is crap. The mode currently used is CBC. The way he's passing in iterations is also confusing (and not in the original ezcrypto code AFAICT), as that option actually specifies the number of rounds run on PBKDF2 when deriving a key from the password (and it's 10 rounds, always). Here's a working version for the latest format: gist.github.com/2757146 | |

make a note that the backup format has changed, breaking this script
|
| May 10, 2012 at 9:07 | comment | added | Chris Moore | I get the same now. It looks like the backup format has changed. A quick glance at the source of blockchain.info/DecryptWallet.html shows that it now tries 4 different encryption modes, each with 0 through 19 iterations of AES encryption, which I don't think it used to do. | |
| May 9, 2012 at 6:21 | comment | added | Andrey Fedorov | When I try this on my backed up wallet, I get "ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded". I'm new to working with this crypto library, how would you suggest I go about trouble shooting? | |

Remove text that says the password gets echo'd to screen, because now it doesn't.

Use environment version of Python. Use getpass rather than echo password to screen.

make it a little shorter
|
| Feb 29, 2012 at 20:11 | comment | added | Chris Moore | Now it shows the key in 'sipa' format too. | |

show private key in 'sipa' format too
|
| Feb 29, 2012 at 19:07 | comment | added | Chris Moore | Note that my script doesn't convert the private key into 'sipa' format, which is what the official bitcoin client will need (v0.6 onwards) to import a private key. The private keys in the decrypted wallet are in base58 format, but not the 'sipa' format, which includes a checksum. I intend to fix my script to convert private keys to 'sipa' format. | |
