# Wif to Decimal

```python
from secp256k2 import Contactor

cont = Contactor()

wif = "WIF_KEY_HERE"

privatekey = cont.btc_wif_to_pvk_int(wif)
```

The code above demonstrates the process of converting a Bitcoin Wallet Import Format (WIF) key into its corresponding private key in integer form using the `secp256k1` library. Initially, a `Contactor` object is instantiated. Subsequently, the `btc_wif_to_pvk_int` method is called with a WIF key as its argument to perform the conversion. Note that the `WIF_KEY_HERE` placeholder should be replaced with your actual WIF key string.

```python
# Convert WIF to private key integer
print(f"Private Key Integer: {privatekey}")
```

The above additional code snippet can be appended to print the resulting integer value of the private key, providing a clear, concise view of the output generated by the conversion process.
