CkPython Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.HashString method

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

import chilkat

crypt = chilkat.CkCrypt2()

crypt.put_Charset("utf-8")

crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256")

inputStr = "This is a test."

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The HashString method is deprecated:

outData = chilkat.CkByteData()

success = crypt.HashString(inputStr,outData)

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

crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64")
hash_base64 = crypt.hashStringENC(inputStr)

print(hash_base64)
