Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.Encode method

Shows how to replace the deprecated Encode method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.) CkPython

import chilkat

crypt = chilkat.CkCrypt2()

path = "c:/someDir/example.dat"

# Such as base64, hex, hex_lower, etc.
encoding = "base64"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The Encode method is deprecated:

inData = chilkat.CkByteData()
inData.loadFile(path)

encodedBytes = crypt.encode(inData,encoding)

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Workaround.
# (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

bd = chilkat.CkBinData()
bd.LoadFile(path)

encodedBytes = bd.getEncoded(encoding)
