[pyOpenSSL] quick question, converting a small (two lines) of Ruby (OpenSSL) to PyOpenSSL

[aaron smith]

Thanks for the reply. Ultimately what I'm trying to accomplish is
creating a software license key.

The full ruby example is this:

def make_license(product_code, name, copies)
  sign_dss1 = OpenSSL::Digest::DSS1.new
  priv = OpenSSL::PKey::DSA.new(File.read("lib/dsa_priv.pem"))
  b32 = Base32.encode(priv.sign(sign_dss1,
make_license_source(product_code, name)))
  # Replace Os with 8s and Is with 9s
  # See http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-old/blog/2004/11-07/index.html
  b32.gsub!(/O/, '8')
  b32.gsub!(/I/, '9')
  # chop off trailing padding
  b32.delete("=").scan(/.{1,5}/).join("-")
end

def make_license_source(product_code, name)
  product_code + "," + name
end

I think what this is doing is creating a new dsa from a private one,
the file (lib/dsa_priv.pem). It converts it to base 32, and adds in
some dashes (-). Which ultimately gives me something like:
"GAWAE-FDWN3-BJHHK-KBGLL-D5SF7-6KHNP-7RWSE-C2FAC-CRR32-QB76K-T3F22-MZFGQ-LV4XA-7X423-6QJY"
