Note:
I will modify your code to add an essential dependence on Pywallet, a popular Bitcoin wallet app.
Before we dive into the modified script, make sure you have:
- Python 3.8 or later : Make sure Python 2.x is not installed on your system.

Here is the updated article with a warning about the installation of dependencies:
Installing Pywallet: Bitcoin Wallet for Bitcoin Core
As a user of Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, you installed Python 2.7.18 through the official repository. However, Pywallet is not included in this installation. To run Pywallet, we will need to install additional packages.
Notice
Before proceeding, note that installing these dependencies may require additional software and may not be compatible with your existing system. Proceed at your own risk.
Step 1: Install the required packages
First, update the package index:
`Bash
APT UPDATE
`
Then install the psbt epython-bch packages required for the pywallet:
`Bash
sudo apt-get install python3-pywallet python3-python3-crimritography python3- bitcoincore
`
Alternatively, you can use a packet manager like Homebrew (MacOS) or APT-get with additional repositories to install these packages.
Step 2: Update Python 3.8
After installing the necessary packages, update your Python 3.8 installation:
`Bash
APT UPDATE
Sudo Python3 -m Pip Install -Upgrade Pip
`
Step 3: Configure Pywallet
Now that you have the necessary facilities installed, let’s set the pywallet to use Bitcoin Core:
`Bash
CD/Home/User/Bitcoin-Wallet Setup/
.
`
Replace /home/user/ with your real initial directory.
Step 4: Run Pywallet
Create a new wallet and execute -a:
`Bash
python3 /home/user/bitcoin-wallet-seatup/walpaper.py
`
This will start the Pywallet app, which should now use Bitcoin Core. Note that you will need to create a wallet before running Pywallet for the first time.
Conclusion
Following these steps, you have successfully installed and set the pywallet to Bitcoin on your Ubuntu 24.04.1 lts system. With this configuration, you can now manage your bitcoins and interact with the Core Bitcoin network. Remember to update your Python installation regularly and consider installing additional dependencies as needed.
