Error: (1, 'cannot read key') #342
Description
Hi! I have a problem, when I do this:
key = xmlsec.Key.from_file(p12_path, xmlsec.constants.KeyDataFormatPkcs12, password=pass)
The file .p12 I can extract the private key and certificate whit this:
private_key, certificate, additional_certs = pkcs12.load_key_and_certificates(p12_data, clave.encode("utf-8"))
print("🔐 Private key:", private_key)
And then it print: <cryptography.hazmat.bindings._rust.openssl.rsa.RSAPrivateKey object at 0x73e07a4763d0>
Then, the path is fine, and the file also. What do I am doing wrong? Help, thanks

I can confirm this error is happening.
Using the same
xmlsec.Key.from_filecode to load a p12 key works forpython-xmlsec==1.3.14andxmlsec==1.3.6 (using Alpine linux 3.20), but it does not work forpython-xmlsec==1.3.15andxmlsec==1.3.7 (using Alpine linux 3.21).Getting a
Error: (1, 'cannot read key')error message.Not sure how to determine if this is an issue with
python-xmlsecorxmlsecitself, but happy to help if pointed in the right direction.Edit: xmlsec error seems to come from this line
