I have a public key, and I want to write a method that verify a string
which is a signature signed by this public key's private key. And is
M2Crypto I can't find algorithm named "SHA1WithRSA" or so . Could anyone
help me?

In OpenSSL you would simply use the EVP_Verify* functions, I don't
see that in M2Crypto's documentation though. You may have to use
RSA_Verify.

If you're not forced to use M2Crypto, you *may* want to check out evpy,
which is a set of ctypes bindings for openssl's evp interface and a very
easy to use wrapper. It's available at http://gitorious.org/evpy, and will
be up for a first release in a few weeks.
