'''
Script to generate list of seed nodes for chainparams.cpp.

This script expects two text files in the directory that is passed as an
argument:

    nodes_main.txt
    nodes_test.txt

These files must consist of lines in the format 

    <ip>
    <ip>:<port>
    [<ipv6>]
    [<ipv6>]:<port>
    <onion>.onion
    0xDDBBCCAA (IPv4 little-endian old pnSeeds format)

The output will be two data structures with the peers in binary format:

   static SeedSpec6 pnSeed6_main[]={
   ...
   }
   static SeedSpec6 pnSeed6_test[]={
   ...
   }

These should be pasted into `src/chainparamsseeds.h`.
