Look at test_AES method in http://svn.osafoundation.org/m2crypto/trunk/tests/test_evp.py Basically EVP.Cipher returns the cipher object. You call the update update(data) method on it (you can call this many times if you have lots of data), which returns (possibly partial) result and finally call the final() method to finish, which will return the last piece of the decrypted data. You might also want to take a look at m2secret[1] which is a small library/utility built on top of M2Crypto to encrypt/decrypt stuff. By default it uses AES.
