bech32m

library1.0.0pypypi✓ verified 80d ago

Python library for encoding and decoding Bech32 and Bech32m addresses (Bitcoin improvement BIP-350). Version 1.0.0 supports Python 3.9+ with a stable API based on BIP-0173 and BIP-0350. Release cadence is low; maintained on GitHub.

encode

✗ from bech32m import bech32_encode

decode

✓ from bech32m import decode

DecodeError

✓ from bech32m import DecodeError

Encode and decode a Bech32m address (BIP-350). The data argument is a list of 5-bit integers.

import os from bech32m import bech32_encode, bech32_decode hrp = "bc" # Convert bytes to 5-bit groups internally data = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] addr = bech32_encode(hrp, data) print("Encoded:", addr) # Decode hrp_got, data_got = bech32_decode(addr) print("Decoded HRP:", hrp_got) print("Decoded data:", data_got)

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe library bech32m is NOT the same as the old 'bech32' library. Import paths differ and APIs are not compatible.

fix

Use 'from bech32m import ...' instead of 'from bech32 import ...'. Uninstall 'bech32' if present.

affects: all

gotchaThe encoding functions expect data in 5-bit groups (integers 0-31). Passing raw bytes will silently produce incorrect addresses.

fix

Convert bytes to 5-bit groups using a conversion function (e.g., ods/bech32m provides a utility, but the main API does not include one; handle this externally).
