Note: I will modify your code to add the necessary dependency for PyWallet, a popular Bitcoin wallet application.

Before we move on to the modified script, make sure you have:

• Python 3.8 or later: Make sure that Python 2.x is not installed on your system.

• PyWallet package: You need the psbt and python-bch packages to run PyWallet.

Here is an updated article with a warning about installing dependencies:

Installing PyWallet: A Bitcoin Wallet for Bitcoin Core

As an Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS user, you have installed Python 2.7.18 via the official repository. However, PyWallet is not included in this installation. To run PyWallet, we will need to install additional packages.

WARNING

Before you proceed, please note that installing these dependencies may require additional software and may not be compatible with your current system. Proceed at your own risk.

Step 1: Install the required packages

First, update the package index:

sudo apt update

Then install the psbt and python-bch packages, which are required for PyWallet:

sudo apt-get install python3-pywallet python3-psbt python3-cryptography python3-bitcoincore

Alternatively, you can use a package manager like Homebrew (on macOS) or apt-get with additional repositories to install these packages.

Step 2: Update Python 3.8

Once you have the required packages installed, update your Python 3.8 installation:

sudo apt update
sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

Step 3: Set up PyWallet

Now that you have the necessary dependencies installed, configure PyWallet to use Bitcoin Core:

cd /home/user/Bitcoin-Wallet-Setup/
./configure --enable-cores=1

Replace /home/user/ with your actual home directory.

Step 4: Start PyWallet

Create a new wallet and run it:

python3 /home/user/Bitcoin-Wallet-Setup/wallpaper.py

This will start the PyWallet application, which should now be able to use Bitcoin Core. Please note that you need to create a wallet before running PyWallet for the first time.

Application

With these steps, you have successfully installed and configured PyWallet for Bitcoin on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS. With this setup, you can now manage your Bitcoins and communicate with the Bitcoin Core network. Remember to update your Python installation regularly and consider installing additional dependencies as needed.
