Re: How to convert a compressed public key into uncompressed one in Python?

The Python script you've already discovered, over here works correctly as far as I can tell.

Substituting your example keys into the "compressed_key" variable on line 12 and running the script three times produced the following results:

compressed_key = '025A2146590B80D1F0D97CC7104E702011AFFF21BFAF817F5C7002446369BA9DDC'

Code:

compressed_key = '035728F4692D85D411DF3643CD69FE05C411A0D507C7D814008F56C8F260AD7ED9'

compressed_key = '039E87EB177890FDD788B95843ED53AD4FB6E877E3F730EF1E73593964C2AB9D15'

Unfortunatelly in my case it outputs incorrect values (Pycharm Python 3.10.5)
Here's the rundown of the cases:
