I get an error. What am I doing wrong?

from bitcoinaddress import Wallet

priv = "KwLdv6T2jmhQbswnYrcL9KZHerTpVyjozp1JNjfP5QuD3GchCwCc"

wallet = Wallet(priv)
print(wallet)

Getting the same, seems it only accepts non compressed WIF. Maybe it's possible to do the conversion using the library or some of it's dependencies @fortesp ?
