CkPython Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Transition from Zip.AppendBd to Zip.AddBd

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendBd method calls with AddBd. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

zip = chilkat.CkZip()

#  ...
#  ...

pathInZip = "example.dat"

bd = chilkat.CkBinData()
bd.LoadFile("c:/someDir/example.dat")

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The AppendBd method is deprecated:
#  AppendBd returns the zip entry object, which is usually not needed.

# entryObj is a CkZipEntry
entryObj = zip.AppendBd(pathInZip,bd)
if (zip.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(zip.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

#  ...
#  ...

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Do the equivalent using AddBd.

#  Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddBd(pathInZip,bd)
if (success == False):
    print(zip.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

#  Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
#  The newly appended entry is the last one.
ze = chilkat.CkZipEntry()
index = zip.get_NumEntries() - 1
zip.EntryAt(index,ze)
