A python implementation of the Base58Check encoding scheme.
The Base58Check encoding scheme is a modified Base 58 binary-to-text encoding. More generically, Base58Check encoding is used for encoding byte arrays in Bitcoin into human-typable strings.
PLEASE NOTE\ : For consistency with encoding schemes in python, encode inputs must be bytes and will be enforced. Use .encode('ascii') on text input to encode to bytes.
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install base58check
.. code-block:: python
import base58check
encoding ^^^^^^^^
