How do I generate public and private keys with pyOpenSSL?

I can obtain the private key (PEM format), but I'm not sure how to generate the public key:

from OpenSSL import crypto, SSL

key = crypto.PKey()
key.generate_key(crypto.TYPE_RSA, 1024)
priv_key = crypto.dump_privatekey(crypto.FILETYPE_PEM, key)
pub_key = ... ?

According to the pyopenssl docs

pub_key = crypto.dump_publickey(type, key)

where type = The file type (one of :data:FILETYPE_PEM or :data:FILETYPE_ASN1).

Hope this helps
