Checkout the wallet standard doc using ts-sdk, basically you can get private key from mnemonic then get wallet from privatekey.

  static fromDerivePath(path: string, mnemonics: string): AptosAccount {
    if (!AptosAccount.isValidPath(path)) {
      throw new Error("Invalid derivation path");
    }

    const normalizeMnemonics = mnemonics
      .trim()
      .split(/\s+/)
      .map((part) => part.toLowerCase())
      .join(" ");

    const { key } = derivePath(path, bytesToHex(bip39.mnemonicToSeedSync(normalizeMnemonics)));

    return new AptosAccount(new Uint8Array(key));
  }

If you want to use python, here's an open source repo made by community.

Can refer to this unit test and see what arguments the function expects and how to define them.

For example, given this wallet https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-ts-sdk/blob/main/tests/unit/helper.ts#L9 can derive the account as follow https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-ts-sdk/blob/main/tests/unit/account.test.ts#L133-L142.

Note: the function mentioned here has changed to Account.fromDerivationPath - can find it here https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-ts-sdk/blob/main/src/core/account/Account.ts#L202
