The variable 'b58a' holds the Base 58 alphabet, 'num' is the key converted to

('1's). As you can see, the output matches the key we generated above.
The variable 'b58a' holds the Base 58 alphabet, 'num' holds the key converted

reversing it, converting it to a string and stripping off the leading zeroes
('1's). As you can see, the output matches the WIF key we generated above.
Those who know a bit of programming but are unfamiliar with Python might find
the following base conversion code clearer:
