Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.SetMacKeyBytes method

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

import chilkat

success = False

crypt = chilkat.CkCrypt2()

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The SetMacKeyBytes method is deprecated:

keyBytes = chilkat.CkByteData()
# ...
# ...

success = crypt.SetMacKeyBytes(keyBytes)

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

bdKey = chilkat.CkBinData()
# ...
# ...

encoding = "base64"
base64_mackey = bdKey.getEncoded(encoding)

success = crypt.SetMacKeyEncoded(base64_mackey,encoding)
