import chilkat

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

crypt = chilkat.CkCrypt2()

s1 = "This string is to be UU encoded"

crypt.put_UuMode("666")
crypt.put_UuFilename("something.txt")

# UU encode:
s2 = crypt.encodeString(s1,"ansi","uu")

# Note: Call crypt.Encode instead of crypt.EncodeString
# to UU encode binary bytes (i.e. non-text binary data).

print(s2)

# UU decode:
crypt2 = chilkat.CkCrypt2()
s3 = crypt2.decodeString(s2,"ansi","uu")

# Note: Likewise, call crypt.Decode to decode non-text binary data.

print(s3)

# Show the file permissions mode and filename found
# in the UU encoded data:
print("UuMode = " + crypt2.uuMode())
print("UuFilename = " + crypt2.uuFilename())
