Hi~
I have a problem with smime exceptions when reading pem files (smime.load_key(str(keyPemPath), certificatePemPath)), exception information: M2Crypto.EVP.EVPError: Unable to read private key in function pkey_read_pem.
Complete error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/Work/pythonWork/pkpass/test.py", line 15, in
     Smime.load_key(str(keypemPath), pemPath)
   File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/M2Crypto/SMIME.py", line 163, in load_key
     Self.pkey = EVP.load_key(keyfile, callback)
   File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/M2Crypto/EVP.py", line 395, in load_key

Hi @wzjjwxy Is there any updates or work around on that issue ?
I am also facing that issue. Any help would be appreciated

In the traceback I see you are using Python 3. This library is not yet compatible with Python 3. See #40 for more information.

Support for Python 3 has landed in the master branch. You could give it a try by installing it from GitHub.
