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()
