I'm sorry I'm a little confused, this thread is a year and a half old and I don't get if you managed to find any wallet or key
Based on this I guessed not
Quote
Found 70 possible wallets
found 0 possible encrypted keys
found 0 possible unencrypted keys
The 70 only means pywallet found 70 master keys (wallet encryption parameters) but no addresses at all, this is weird

When were the wallets created? Are you sure it is a bitcoin-qt/core wallet?
BTW I found out the pywallet recovery is bugged, I fix a bit of that a couple hours ago you can try the new version and see if it finds any key
I'll be fixing this over the next weeks

[yes I’ve been looking since 2017!! Believe the wallet was from 2009-2010! I Barley Lerned enough python to download and run Pywallet, already  ran it on all my drives and every time it’s done it say either partial wallet or creates a wallet but never shows any keys!
I’m surprised because this test was to see it if will capture the keys off the Bitcoin core wallet I had running on that hard drive 2 weeks ago but it didn’t 🤔 that’s why I question if I have something missing in my program download or operation?]
