CkPython Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.HashFile method

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

import chilkat

crypt = chilkat.CkCrypt2()

crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256")

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

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The HashFile method is deprecated:

outData = chilkat.CkByteData()
success = crypt.HashFile(path,outData)

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

crypt.put_EncodingMode("hex_lower")
hex_hash = crypt.hashFileENC(path)
