An address cannot be an arbitrary string because the address itself is not stored in the block chain

...

The best you can do is an address like 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE.

You just given example of arbitrary string in blockchain as an address.

Yes, that is what I want to do. My own string in address. I don't need pvk nor pubkey.

Let's say I have "MyString" and I need to see it in address. Starting characters and ending can be any.
So, for example, I base58decode_check("MyStringChecksum"), I am getting bytes, add some at the end for proper length and checksum, and at the end base58encode_check the bytes giving me what I want.

I just don't know how to code that (mostly in Python 3).

I know the theory, I need working example of conversion.
