Re: sx command line utilities - Empower The Sysadmin With Bitcoin Tools

This seems odd. I cannot understand why sx seems to disagree with vbuterin/pybitcointools (https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointools)

If you need to install pybitcointools do

Code:

$ git clone https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointools
$ cd pybitcointools
$ chmod +x setup.py
$ ./setup.py install

I am not getting the same result for simple sha256 hashes from pybitcointools and sx. See:

Code:

$ python
>>> from bitcoin import *
>>> x=sha256('ok')
>>> x
'2689367b205c16ce32ed4200942b8b8b1e262dfc70d9bc9fbc77c49699a4f1df'
>>>quit()
$

sx gives something else...or am i stupid?

Code:

$ sx sha256 ok
6e340b9cffb37a989ca544e6bb780a2c78901d3fb33738768511a30617afa01d
$ sx sha256 'ok'
6e340b9cffb37a989ca544e6bb780a2c78901d3fb33738768511a30617afa01d

Why?
