CkPython Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Transition from Zip.AppendOneFileOrDir to Zip.AddFile

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendOneFileOrDir method calls with AddFile. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

zip = chilkat.CkZip()

#  ...
#  ...
localFilePath = "c:/someDir/example.dat"
saveExtraPath = False

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The AppendOneFileOrDir method is deprecated:

# entryObj is a CkZipEntry
entryObj = zip.AppendOneFileOrDir(localFilePath,saveExtraPath)
if (zip.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(zip.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

#  ...
#  ...

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Do the equivalent using AddFile.

#  Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddFile(localFilePath,saveExtraPath)
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)
