[pycrypto] providing signature in base64

[Cornelius Kölbel]

Hi,

i discovered the number.bytes_to_long function, which does the trick,

but the signature validation still fails.

I assume I would have to b64decode my signature prior to converting it.
But it fails :-/

ret =  RSAKey.verify(hash, (number.bytes_to_long(sign.decode("base64")),) )
print ret

ret =  RSAKey.verify(hash, (number.bytes_to_long(base64.b64decode(sign)),))
print ret

Any hint on that?

The signature was created with openssl/M2Crypto.
And I'd like to mirgate to pycrypto.

Kind regards
Cornelius
