3.1.5 PKey objects
</H3>
<P>
The PKey object has the following methods:
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-81'><tt class='method'>bits</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Return the number of bits of the key.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-82'><tt class='method'>generate_key</tt></a></b>(<var>type, bits</var>)
<dd>
Generate a public/private key pair of the type <var>type</var> (one of
<tt class="constant">TYPE_RSA</tt> and <tt class="constant">TYPE_DSA</tt>) with the size <var>bits</var>.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-83'><tt class='method'>type</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Return the type of the key.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-84'><tt class='method'>check</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Check the consistency of this key, returning True if it is consistent and
raising an exception otherwise. This is only valid for RSA keys. See the
OpenSSL RSA_check_key man page for further limitations.
