CkPython Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

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)
