Searching for a usable X509 implementation

[Dennis Jacobfeuerborn]

Hi,
I'm trying to implement certificate functionality in a python app but after fighting with pyOpenSSL and M2Crypto I'm thinking about writing wrapper functions for the OpenSSL command line tool instead or switching the app to another language all together.

Apparently PyOpenSSL has no way to save a public key to a file which is baffling. M2Crypto has that ability but apparently no usable way to verify a certificate?

Is there really no usable module out there to enable straightforward certificate handling?

Regards,
  Dennis
