## ECDSA in Python: Generate / Load Keys

```python
import eth_keys, eth_utils, binascii, os

# privKey = eth_keys.keys.PrivateKey(os.urandom(32))
privKey = eth_keys.keys.PrivateKey(binascii.unhexlify(
    '97ddae0f3a25b92268175400149d65d6887b9cefaf28ea2c078e05cdc15a3c0a'))
pubKey = privKey.public_key
pubKeyCompressed = '0' + str(2 + int(pubKey) % 2) + str(pubKey)[2:66]
address = pubKey.to_checksum_address()
print('Private key (64 hex digits):', privKey)
print('Public key (plain, 128 hex digits):', pubKey)
print('Public key (compressed):', pubKeyCompressed)
print('Signer address:', address)
```

## ECDSA in Python: Sign Message

```python
msg = b'Message for signing'
msgHash = eth_utils.keccak(msg)
signature = privKey.sign_msg(msg)

print('Msg:', msg)
print('Msg hash:', binascii.hexlify(msgHash))
print('Signature: [v = {0}, r = {1}, s = {2}]'.format(
  hex(signature.v), hex(signature.r), hex(signature.s)))
print('Signature (130 hex digits):', signature)
```

## ECDSA in Python: Verify Signature

```python
msg = b'Message for signing'
msgSigner = '0xa44f70834a711F0DF388ab016465f2eEb255dEd0'
signature = eth_keys.keys.Signature(binascii.unhexlify(
    '6f0156091cbe912f2d5d1215cc3cd81c0963c8839b93af60e0921b61a19c54300c71006dd93f3508c432daca21db0095f4b16542782b7986f48a5d0ae3c583d401'))
signerPubKey = signature.recover_public_key_from_msg(msg)
print('Signer public key (recovered):', signerPubKey)
signerAddress = signerPubKey.to_checksum_address()
print('Signer address:', signerAddress)
print('Signature valid?:', signerAddress == msgSigner)
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://cryptobook.nakov.com/crypto-libraries-for-developers/python-crypto-libraries.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
