I thought it might be useful to have a completely self-contained Python script that generates Bitcoin addresses (both legacy P2PKH addresses, as well as bech32 P2WPKH addresses).

Most examples I've seen resort to using third-party packages, which makes it difficult for someone reading the code to follow (in detail) each of the steps involved. Even using Python's standard library has pitfalls, because the cryptographic hash functions included in Python are based on OpenSSL, which means that decisions coming from that project sometimes affect Python (e.g. some installations require additional configuration to make RIPEMD-160 available).

food court vendors taking bitcoins consumes several dozens blank address daily and now I can wrap this around with script to pump out pre-made QR code wallets that get crontab'ed daily for ssh ftp download to receive payment. Your script makes unique payment for each microtransaction feasible and so stupidly easy!

What you might not be aware is that it saves me hours of Photoshop cut and paste weekly + Really appreciate this!
