import sys
import chilkat2

crypt2 = chilkat2.Crypt2()

# ...

index = 0

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The GetSignerCert method is deprecated:

# certObj is a CkCert
certObj = crypt2.GetSignerCert(index)
if (crypt2.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(crypt2.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# ...
# ...

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

certOut = chilkat2.Cert()

if (success == False):
    print(crypt2.LastErrorText)
