CkPython Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.HashBytesENC method

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

import chilkat

crypt = chilkat.CkCrypt2()

crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256")
crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64")

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

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The HashBytes method is deprecated:

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

base64_hash = crypt.hashBytesENC(inData)

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

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

base64_hash = crypt.hashBdENC(bdIn)
