OpenSSL signing and Google App Engine

Question

Is there a way to sign values with a PEM formatted private key in Google App Engine (Python)?

For example in PHP it could be achieved like this:

$key = openssl_pkey_get_private($privateKey);
openssl_sign($strToBeSigned, $signature, $key);
echo "signature: ".base64_encode($signature);

Is there a way to do the same thing with Python in Google App Engine?
