'''Base58 encoding
Implementations of Base58 and Base58Check encodings that are compatible
with the bitcoin network.
'''
# This module is based upon base58 snippets found scattered over many bitcoin
# tools written in python. From what I gather the original source is from a
# forum post by Gavin Andresen, so direct your praise to him.
# This module adds shiny packaging and support for python3.
