You can generate an IOTA address using the
[`Client.get_addresses()`](./../libraries/python/api_reference##get_addressesseed-account_index-optional-input_range_begin-optional-input_range_end-optional-get_all-optional-liststr-bool-optional)
function that will return a list of tuples with the generated addresses. You can find more information on the
parameters in the [Address/Key Space section](../../../explanations/address_key_space.md).
The whole process is deterministic. This means the output is the same as long as the seed is the same:
<CodeBlock className="language-python">
{generate_addresses}

```
* Each tuple contains `address` and `bool` value indicating if the address is a `change` address or not. `True`
means the address is a change address (internal). There are two independent sets of addresses (10 items per each).
* This behavior is controlled by the `get_all` argument. `get_all=False` (default) generates only public addresses.
IOTA addresses are represented by a checksumed base-32 string (Bech32). You can find a detailed explanation in the
[Chrysalis documentations](https://wiki.iota.org/chrysalis-docs/guides/developer/#iota-15-address-anatom), but here are
parts relevant to this example:
* If an address starts with `atoi` then it means it is related to `devnet`. `iota` stands for `mainnet`.
* Number `1` at the 5<sup>th</sup> position is just a separator.
* The last 6 characters are reserved for a checksum.
Addresses can be also represented in a hex format and `iota.rs` provides some convenient functions to convert addresses:
[`Client.bech32_to_hex()`](./../libraries/python/api_reference#bech32_to_hexbech32) and
[`Client.hex_to_bech32()`](./../libraries/python/api_reference#hex_to_bech32hex-bech32_hrp-optional).
If you want to quickly validate any IOTA address, you can use the
[`Client.is_address_valid()`](./../libraries/python/api_reference#is_address_validaddress-bool) function that returns a
`bool` value. You should perform a sanity check on address before using it.
