privtopub only works with wif

[ghost]

This gives a good address:

priv=sha256("blah")
wif = encode_privkey(priv, 'wif_compressed')
pub = privtopub(wif)
addr = pubtoaddr(pub)

Whereas this (as in example in readme)
priv=sha256("blah")
pub = privtopub(priv)
addr = pubtoaddr(pub)

Gives an incorrect address.
(running python2)

Whereas this (as in example in readme)
priv=sha256("blah") # add "01" flag
pub = privtopub(priv) # or compress(privtopub(priv) )

Hex SEC keys require the appended "compressed" byte.
The first example does this automatically when you call wif_compressed in encode_privkey

Ah, I assumed, due to the example, that it was handled/ a problem with old-timey python. Just looked through main.py.

I think your code deserves more comprehensive documentations. Some really cool stuff in there.
