M2Crypto (available via pip, requires swig)
“openssl” command: because current M2Crypto lacks func for rsa pubout DER
Legacy Dependencies
Appendix: m2crypto-0.20.2-enable-rsa-pubout.patch
“svn diff” output for appending the feature for rsa pubout DER.
Howto build m2crypto with it:
svn co http://svn.osafoundation.org/m2crypto/tags/0.20.2 m2crypto-0.20.2 cd m2crypto-0.20.2 patch -p0 < ../legacy/m2crypto-0.20.2-enable-rsa-pubout.patch python setup.py build
(I hope someone send it to M2Crypto maintainer ^^)
