The 3.x train of OpenSSL switched the default key format to PKCS#8 (from PKCS#1).

openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 2048   # now generates a PKCS#8

FWIW, the legacy PKCS#1 format can still be generated by passing the -traditional flag (also available in the rsa command):

openssl genrsa -traditional -out private_key.pem 2048  # generates a PKCS#1

It would be nice if rfc3447.RSAPrivateKey() could parse both formats.
