Python: How generate bitcoin addresses using electrum library

Question

What am I doing wrong here? I'm trying to generate bitcoin addresses from the seed but they do not match with ones from electrum application. Did I miss something? And I also have trouble with generating wifs, as it seems they removed method bitcoin.SecretToASecret(prv, compressed=True), but I can't find with what they replaced it.

from electrum import bitcoin
from electrum import keystore
from electrum.mnemonic import Mnemonic

defaultseed = "face circle glad valley exhibit find man oblige kingdom scorpion fish misery"

m44_0_0_0_0 = {
    'address': '1ALSQR3C68JLj5rtJHv594r5cviTqoXMNr',  # compressed by default
    'private_key': 'Ky9mddDtaqcLC1vv6egmgQpiZh8Lgh111LnJSyJENxJs3oW93bjD'
}

if __name__ == '__main__':

    password = ''
    bip32_seed = Mnemonic.mnemonic_to_seed(defaultseed, password)

    # m / purpose' / coin_type' / account' / change / address_index
    derivation = "m/44'/0'/0'/"
    xtype = keystore.xtype_from_derivation(derivation)
    # print('seed: {}'.format(repr(bip32_seed)))
    xprv, xpub = bitcoin.bip32_root(bip32_seed, xtype)
    # print('root: {0}  {1}'.format(xprv, xpub))

    xprv, xpub = bitcoin.bip32_private_derivation(xprv, 'm/', derivation)  # 1st account

    # generate first receiving addresses:
    i = 0
    prv, pub = bitcoin.bip32_private_derivation(xprv, "", "0/{index}".format(index=i))

    pub = bitcoin.deserialize_xkey(pub, False)[-1]
    prv = bitcoin.deserialize_xkey(prv, True)[-1]
    addr = bitcoin.public_key_to_p2pkh(pub)

    wif = 'how to generate wif from {prv} using electrum'

    print('{index:2}: {addr}  {wif}'.format(index=i, addr=addr, wif=wif))

Answer 1

The derivation path you used is incorrect. Electrum does not use bip44. Anyway here's one way to do this for p2pkh addresses:

from electrum import bitcoin
from electrum import keystore

seed = "<seed here>"
change = False
address_index = 0


k = keystore.from_seed( seed, '', False )
print( bitcoin.pubkey_to_address('p2pkh', k.derive_pubkey( change, address_index ) ) )
