Bitcoin Armory is an open-source, python-based, wallet-management application for the Bitcoin network.
Note: The Armory project is no longer maintained by its creator[1], however there is an effort underway to change to a new maintainer.
Also note that it's using a N of M secret sharing for backing up users private keys. The implementation used repeated hashing of data instead of a random number generator and that combined with other errors completely breaks the scheme. The result is that regardless of the requested threshold an attacker with the first share and any other share could recover the secret (or alternatively the N-th share plus any N additional ones). See also Shamir Secret Snakeoil#Armory.
