zip = chilkat2.Zip()

# ...
# ...
pathInZip = "example.txt"
textData = "This is a test"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The AppendString method is deprecated:

# entryObj is a CkZipEntry
entryObj = zip.AppendString(pathInZip,textData)
if (zip.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(zip.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using AddString.

# Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddString(pathInZip,textData,"utf-8")
if (success == False):
    print(zip.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
# The newly appended entry is the last one.
