asn1crypto: CMS Enveloped Data creation failure

I am trying to create a CMS Enveloped Data using asn1crypto as a substitution of the Google’s certificate-transparency source code I forked on my project https://github.com/balena/python-smime. I had the idea of using asn1crypto after having some trouble when parsing indefinite-length attributes generated by certain E-Mail managers (like Thunderbird).

While asn1crypto is great for parsing all kinds of CMS data, I am getting some trouble when generating them. I have an unit test where the PKCS7 output is passed as input to command-line OpenSSL in order to make sure the implementation is compatible. But all I get is an error from OpenSSL when parsing ASN.1 tags (I don’t know exactly which one).

There is a single function responsible for returning a CMS ContentInfo structure as follows:

def __get_enveloped_data(pubkey_cipher, sym_cipher, x509_cert,
                         encrypted_key, iv, encrypted_content):
    return cms.ContentInfo({
        'contentType': cms.ContentType(u'enveloped_data'),
        'content': cms.EnvelopedData({
            'version': u'v0',
            'recipient_infos': cms.RecipientInfos([
                cms.RecipientInfo(
                    name='ktri',
                    value=cms.KeyTransRecipientInfo({
                        'version': u'v0',
                        'rid': cms.RecipientIdentifier(
                            name='issuer_and_serial_number',
                            value=__get_issuer_and_serial_number(x509_cert)
                        ),
                        'key_encryption_algorithm': cms.KeyEncryptionAlgorithm({
                            'algorithm': pubkey_cipher.oid,
                            'parameters': core.Null()
                        }),
                        'encrypted_key': encrypted_key
                    })
                )
            ]),
            'encrypted_content_info': cms.EncryptedContentInfo({
                'content_type': cms.ContentType(u'data'),
                'content_encryption_algorithm': cms.EncryptionAlgorithm({
                    'algorithm': sym_cipher.oid,
                    'parameters': iv
                }),
                'encrypted_content': cms.OctetString(
                    encrypted_content, tag=0, tag_type='implicit')
            })
        }, tag=0, tag_type='explicit')
    })

The object returned by the above function is encoded using:

encoded_content = __encode_in_base64(enveloped_data.dump())

And the __encode_in_base64 is just a pretty printer function to convert the DER output into BASE64.

When I execute the OpenSSL function:

$ openssl smime -decrypt -in tmp -inkey private_key.pem

All I get is the following:

Error reading S/MIME message

Do you have any idea what could be the problem? Is there any caveat when encoding asn1crypto structures like the above?
