Yes, and no, it turns out. If I let x509req.get_subject() return a X509_NAME_dup()ed pointer I can't do stuff like req.get_subject().CN = 'me' which would be rather nice (req.set_subject() would work, but it's rather un-Pythonic) :-) I wrote a copy "constuctor" instead, that takes an x509name object and returns a X509_NAME_dup()ed pointer.
