Oh, btw., if you're not necessarily bound to PyCrypto, you might give 
Cryptopia a try:

http://www.heim-d.de/~heikowu/Crypto

It's a wrapper for GMP (PyGMP) combined with an ElGamal and RSA 
encryption/decryption engine, and it's fast, faster than PyCrypto for large 
key sizes (because it uses GMP) and simpler to use (because everything that 
is returned from decrypt/encrypt is returned in classes which can easily be 
stored to string/loaded from string). I've only built it on Linux and 
Solaris, can't say if it'll build/work on Windows, although there is a port 
of GMP to Windows out there...

Look at the examples if you need more info on how to use it.

Heiko.
