Now I'm using this code and is working but public key is generated uncompressed (also the address) how to modify to keep only X and to generate compressed address?

def private_key_to_public_key(private_key):
sign = ecdsa.SigningKey.from_string(binascii.unhexlify(private_key), curve = ecdsa.SECP256k1)
return ('04' + binascii.hexlify(sign.verifying_key.to_string()).decode('utf-8'))

def public_key_to_address(public_key):
alphabet = "123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz"
count = 0; val = 0
var = hashlib.new('ripemd160')
var.update(hashlib.sha256(binascii.unhexlify(public_key.encode())).digest())
doublehash = hashlib.sha256(hashlib.sha256(binascii.unhexlify(('00' + var.hexdigest()).encode())).digest()).hexdigest()
address = '00' + var.hexdigest() + doublehash[0:8]
for char in address:
if (char != '0'):
break
count += 1
count = count // 2
n = int(address, 16)
output = []
while (n > 0):
n, remainder = divmod (n, 58)
output.append(alphabet[remainder])
while (val < count):
output.append(alphabet[0])
val += 1
return ''.join(output[::-1])
