The effect of the pion wave distortion on the pi-mesonic weak decay of A-hyperon in hypernuclei is studied by using two different pion optical potentials, one by Gmitro, Kamalov and Mach, which is given in momentum space, and the other by MSU group, which is in the standard Kisslinger form. The two potentials lead to a striking difference in the pi-mesonic decay, reflecting different behaviors of the pion wavefunctions deep inside the nucleus.
