## Installation
```bash
$ pip install keylib
```
## Usage
### Private Keys
```python
>>> from keylib import ECPrivateKey
```
#### New Private Keys
```python
>>> private_key = ECPrivateKey()
>>> private_key.to_hex()
'c4bbcb1fbec99d65bf59d85c8cb62ee2db963f0fe106f483d9afa73bd4e39a8a01'
>>> private_key.to_wif()
'L3p8oAcQTtuokSCRHQ7i4MhjWc9zornvpJLfmg62sYpLRJF9woSu'
```
#### Imported Private Keys
```python
>>> imported_private_key = ECPrivateKey(private_key.to_hex())
>>> print private_key.to_wif() == imported_private_key.to_wif()
True
```
### Public Keys
```python
>>> from keylib import ECPublicKey
```
#### Public Keys from Private Keys
```python
>>> public_key = private_key.public_key()
>>> public_key.to_hex()
'03019979ec442e61ace8d47c6a344d791cee12d4e7bbde05fa91a62c0cda51c834'
```
#### Imported Public Keys
```python
>>> imported_public_key = ECPublicKey(public_key.to_hex())
>>> print public_key.to_hex() == imported_public_key.to_hex()
True
```
### Addresses
```python
>>> from keylib import public_key_to_address
```
#### Addresses from Public Key Objects
```python
>>> public_key.address()
'12WDrxysCBDtVxaP1n4HHj8BLqqqfaqANd'
```
#### RIPEMD160 Hashes from Public Key Objects
```python
>>> public_key.hash160()
'107eecc5868111ba06e6bd9309b2db90c555cb6e'
```
#### Addresses from Hex Public Keys
```python
>>> public_key_to_address("030589ee559348bd6a7325994f9c8eff12bd5d73cc683142bd0dd1a17abc99b0dc")
'1KbUJ4x8epz6QqxkmZbTc4f79JbWWz6g37'
