You should get it from the recipient him/herself or from some key store
where s/he has deposited it.

You don't create it. See above. If you understand what is is you know
why it can't be builtin. If you don't understand it is better if you
first learn about OpenSSL, otherwise you run the risk to make serious
errors.

If you are just experimenting to create a message for yourself then you
have to create the public key because you are then the recipient
yourself. That has been answered onhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/1169798/m2crypto-package

import M2Crypto
from M2Crypto import RSA,SSL
def encrypt():
pk = open('my_key.public.pem', 'rb').read()
rsa = M2Crypto.RSA.load_pub_key(pk) #return a M2Crypto.RSA.RSA_pub
object.
plaintext = 4545479545655576767767686688782344
msg = rsa.public_encrypt(plaintext,RSA.pkcs1_padding)
print msg;
encrypt()

This is code i am refering.
The Problem is coming with .pem file.
I also asked this questions at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1176864/problem-with-the-pem-file-closed
which has not been answered .
please help me out....

thanks
