import sys
import chilkat

cert = chilkat.CkCert()

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The ExportPublicKey method is deprecated:

# publickeyObj is a CkPublicKey
publickeyObj = cert.ExportPublicKey()
if (cert.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(cert.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using GetPublicKey.
# Your application creates a new, empty PublicKey object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.

publickeyOut = chilkat.CkPublicKey()
success = cert.GetPublicKey(publickeyOut)
if (success == False):
    print(cert.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()
