Dear Felix, I think you're getting it wrong, let me clarify it a bit. The goal of this is to be able to write web interface for generating puppetmasters CA's and client certificates on demand. An example: install 3 puppetmasters with loadbalancer in front. Use web interface to generate CA and certificates for chosen clients (lets say, 10 machines). Deploy such generated CA's on puppetmasters, and relevant bits on puppet clients to authorize them against these puppetmasters. Whenever there's need for change, use that CA via web interface to add and delete client certificates, redeploy them on puppetmasters and so on. This, while doable via Subprocess functions (Python is the language of choice for me, but that doesnt really matters) and calls to relevant puppet system commands is extremely ugly and not flexible solution. I would love to do it via openssl library, but to do so, I'd need to have a workable way to build CA's and sign (and revoke) client certs via openssl command - so far I cant reach that goal. I hope this makes more sense now.
