<p>This Python pip package <a href="https://pypi.org/project/bitcoin/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pypi.org/project/bitcoin/</a> was originally developed by Vitalik Buterin (that Ethereum guy) but is no longer maintained. Is there any alternative equivalent pip package which can also work with segwit addresses? Thanks.</p>

Found this <https://github.com/1200wd/bitcoinlib> . And it is crap. Won't even install with pip or pipenv.
