Shows how to select/import a private key for RSA signing or decryption. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

privKey = chilkat.CkPrivateKey()
password = "secret"
# In all Chilkat methods expecting a path, you pass either absolute or relative paths.
success = privKey.LoadAnyFormatFile("rsaKeys/myTestRsaPrivate.pem",password)
if (success == False):
    print(privKey.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

rsa = chilkat.CkRsa()

# Tell the RSA object to use the private key (i.e. import the private key)
rsa.UsePrivateKey(privKey)
