But what are you going to do with it?

There's no manual for this. If you can't figure out how it works on your own, then you don't need the script.

I need a script that can recover the beginning of a WIF where some characters are missing — for example, WIF500, etc

this is great! Thank you.
Yeah, I wonder how many CPU cores it would take to solve a single prefix in under a minute. 128+ cores, maybe? Calculating SHA-256 checksums for each individual WIF is pretty demanding. A GPU-based WIF hunter, perhaps?
There’s already a program like this (very fast) WifSolverCuda from our comrade @PawGo. But it works a bit differently. You need to provide a range and/or calculate a very precise stride.
