Converted Private Key Hex Type to Wif Compress and Wif UnCompress

from secp256k2 import Contactor

cont = Contactor()

privatekey = "PRIVATE_KEY_HERE"

wif_compress = cont.btc_pvk_to_wif(privatekey, True)

wif_uncompress = cont.btc_pvk_to_wif(privatekey, False)

Once you have your private key, you can easily convert it to its Wallet Import Format (WIF) using the btc_pvk_to_wif function. This function can generate both compressed and uncompressed WIF formats. The choice between them depends on your specific requirements.

To convert the private key to the compressed WIF format:

wif_compress = cont.btc_pvk_to_wif(privatekey, True)

And for the uncompressed WIF format:

wif_uncompress = cont.btc_pvk_to_wif(privatekey, False)

The True or False parameter passed to the function designates whether the resulting WIF should be compressed or uncompressed, respectively. It's crucial to know which format is expected by the services or wallets you plan to use.
