Python code to recover private key from public key

Helllo,

I would like to use this code to generate/recover my private key, I'm using Python 3.6 and installed ecdsa package but how should I edit the code with my public key?

I'm quite new to python, tried some things but I get the following errors..

NameError: name 'addr' is not defined

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

IndentationError: unexpected indent (<-- I have many of this error)

Do I need anything else to download and install?

I'd appreciate for any kind of help!

You can't.

Private keys cannot be generated from public keys. This is absolutely fundamental to public key cryptography.

I get the following errors..

NameError: name 'addr' is not defined

You must define or initialize addr before using it.

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

See TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable in Python

IndentationError: unexpected indent

Python depends on indentation as part of its syntax, for example indentation is used to define blocks where other languages might use { and } or begin and end.

If you have too much or too little indentation it alters the meaning of the code and may not make any sense. You must pay careful attention to indentation when using Python.

In particular, I suspect that if you set tab-spacing to other than 8 and irregularly mix tabs with spaces in indentation, you will have problems.
