import sys
import chilkat2

cert = chilkat2.Cert()

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The ExportPrivateKey method is deprecated:

# privatekeyObj is a CkPrivateKey
privatekeyObj = cert.ExportPrivateKey()
if (cert.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(cert.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using GetPrivateKey.
# Your application creates a new, empty PrivateKey object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.

privatekeyOut = chilkat2.PrivateKey()
success = cert.GetPrivateKey(privatekeyOut)
if (success == False):
    print(cert.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()
