import sys
import chilkat

rsa = chilkat.CkRsa()

success = rsa.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
if (success != True):
    print rsa.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
#  key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
success = rsa.GenerateKey(1024)
if (success != True):
    print rsa.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Keys are exported in XML format:
publicKey = rsa.exportPublicKey()
print publicKey

privateKey = rsa.exportPrivateKey()
print privateKey
