Computing the hash for a file of any size. CkPython

# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

crypt = chilkat.CkCrypt2()

# Any type of file may be hashed.
# There is  no size limitation because the file is consumed
# in streaming mode internally.

# Other possible EncodingMode settings are: 
# "quoted-printable", "base64", "base32", and "url"

hash = crypt.hashFileENC(filename)

# Hash using MD2
crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("md2")
hash = crypt.hashFileENC(filename)
print("MD2:")
print(hash)

# Hash using MD5
crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("md5")
hash = crypt.hashFileENC(filename)

# Hash using SHA-256
crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256")

# Hash using SHA-384
crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha384")

# Hash using SHA-512

# Hash using HAVAL
# There are two additional properties relevant to HAVAL:
# HavalRounds, and KeyLength.
# HavalRounds can have values of 3, 4, or 5.
# KeyLength can have values of 128, 160, 192, 224, or 256
