DerivationPath (Class)

A BIP-32 derivation path for hierarchical key derivation.

Represents a path like "m/44'/111111'/0'/0/0" for deriving keys.

__eq__

__eq__(other: object) -> bool

__new__

__new__(path: str) -> DerivationPath

Create a derivation path from a string.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
path	A path string (e.g., "m/44'/111111'/0'"). TYPE: str

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
DerivationPath	A new DerivationPath instance. TYPE: DerivationPath

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
Exception	If the path format is invalid.

is_empty

is_empty() -> bool

Check if the path is empty (no components).

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
bool	True if empty. TYPE: bool

length

length() -> int

Get the number of path components.

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
int	The path length. TYPE: int

parent

parent() -> Optional[DerivationPath]

Get the parent path (one level up).

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Optional[DerivationPath]	DerivationPath | None: The parent path, or None if at root.

push

push(child_number: int, hardened: Optional[bool] = None) -> None

Append a child index to the path.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
child_number	The child index. TYPE: int
hardened	Whether to use hardened derivation (default: False). TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
Exception	If the child number is invalid.

to_string

to_string() -> str

Convert to string representation.

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
str	The path as a string (e.g., "m/44'/111111'/0'"). TYPE: str
