Is there a way to convert from hex to npub?

[plebiolira]

Sorry if it's a noob question. I'm looking for a way to input the hex for an event or profile, and convert it to the npub.

I've looked around the codebase quite a bit but couldn't figure it out.

Has it been implemented to python-nostr?

Thanks so much,

At least on a PrivateKey object, you can use the bech32() method on the public_key attribute. Here's an example from a newly generated PrivateKey.

from nostr.key import PrivateKey

p = PrivateKey()
print(p.public_key.bech32())

Thanks. I ended up using the hex_to_bech32 method from the monstr library, which I added to my python-nostr.

@staticmethod def hex_to_bech32(key_str: str, spec, prefix='npub'): as_int = [int(key_str[i:i+2], 16) for i in range(0, len(key_str), 2)] data = bech32.convertbits(as_int, 8, 5) return bech32.bech32_encode(prefix, data, spec)
