PyWallet

Just like all the tools that modify your wallet, it may (unlikely because it is heavily tested before being released) corrupt your wallet, so you must be sure that you have a copy of your wallet in a vault to avoid any wallet loss.

Also, you have to close Bitcoin/Zetacoin wallet before using Pywallet.

Requirements

Python 2.5-2.7
bsddb package: necessary to open wallets
twisted package: necessary if you want to use the web interface
ecdsa package: necessary if you want to sign and verify messages

Dependencies

Debian-based Linux: aptitude install build-essential python-dev python-twisted python-bsddb3

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

Windows:

1. Install Python 2.7

2. Install Twisted 11.0.0 for Py2.7, then Zope.Interface (a .egg file) for Py2.7: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads

3. Untested, proposed by TeaRex: install Zope.Interface from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs

If this doesn't work, you will have to install the egg file:

3(32bit). http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#downloads to install setuptools 3(64bit). http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#windows to download, then run ez_setup.py

4. Go to C:\Python27\Scripts
5. Run easy_install.exe zope.interface-3.6.4-py2.7-win-amd64.egg
