Yesterday, the Python-ecdsa module implemented RFC 6979 which proposes a unique and deterministic algorithm to calculate 'k' value for signatures from private key and signed data. This feature enabled simple unit testing of code using ECDSA signatures as well as black box testing of third-party software. The implementation is available on slush's fork of python-ecdsa on GitHub and there is a pull request waiting for approval by the author of python-ecdsa. Additionally, the RFC 6979 document can be found on tools.ietf.org.
