import sys

crypt = chilkat.CkCrypt2()

#  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
success = crypt.UnlockComponent("30-day trial")
if (success != True):
    print crypt.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

s1 = "This string is to be UU encoded"

crypt.put_UuMode("666")
crypt.put_UuFilename("something.txt")

#  UU encode:
s2 = crypt.encodeString(s1,"ansi","uu")

#  Note: Call crypt.Encode instead of crypt.EncodeString
#  to UU encode binary bytes (i.e. non-text binary data).

print s2

#  UU decode:
crypt2 = chilkat.CkCrypt2()
s3 = crypt2.decodeString(s2,"ansi","uu")

#  Note: Likewise, call crypt.Decode to decode non-text binary data.

print s3

#  Show the file permissions mode and filename found
#  in the UU encoded data:
print "UuMode = " + crypt2.uuMode()
print "UuFilename = " + crypt2.uuFilename()
