Re: Pywallet 2.2: manage your wallet [Update required]

Hello,
I'd like to dump addresses (not keys) from a wallet.dat file I provide on a command line. The wallet is not encrypted. I don't want to install Bitcoin or download the blockchain.
Pywallet has worked for me in the past, but doesn't now.
Code:
./pywallet.py --dumpwallet --datadir=./w --wallet=wallet.dat
'ecdsa' package is not installed, pywallet won't be able to sign/verify messages
ERROR:root:Couldn't open wallet.dat/main. Try quitting Bitcoin and running this again.
I see that jackjack-jj/pywallet is now very, very old - last commit 7 years before.
How to install ecdsa package? The obvious "solutions" from google don't work - pip3 or pip is unrecognized command, and I'm not sure which package from apt to install (but I think this will not solve my problem).
Python version:
Code:
Python 2.7.16 (default, Oct 10 2019, 22:02:15)
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux2
Any suggestions?
