==== Libbitcoin and sx tools
==== Libbitcoin and sx Tools
The libbitcoin library is a C++ scalable multi-threaded and modular implementation that supports a full-node client and a command-line toolset named "sx", which offers many of the same capabilities as the bitcoind client commands we illustrated in this chapter. The sx tools also offer some key management and manipulation tools that are not offered by bitcoind, including type-2 deterministic keys and key mnemonics.

====
The sx toolkit offers many useful commands for encoding and decoding addresses, converting to and from different formats and representations. Use them to explore the various formats such as base58, base58check, hex etc.

==== pycoin
The Python library +pycoin+ (http://github.com/richardkiss/pycoin), originally written and maintained by Richard Kiss, is a Python-based library that supports manipulation of bitcoin keys and transactions, even supporting the scripting language enough to properly deal with non-standard transactions.
