import sys

zip = chilkat2.Zip()

# ...
# ...
id = 123

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The GetEntryByID method is deprecated:

# entryObj is a CkZipEntry
entryObj = zip.GetEntryByID(id)
if (zip.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(zip.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# ...
# ...

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

ze = chilkat2.ZipEntry()
success = zip.EntryById(id,ze)
if (success == False):
