I can't import pem key

[auriga1]

I'm trying to import a pem key:

key = """-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

key_obj = Key.from_pem( key )

But what I get is:

So I tried:

Your docs say:

classmethod from_pem(pem)
Parameters: pem (bytes) – A private key previously encoded as PEM.
Return type: PrivateKey

key_obj = Key.from_pem( bytes(key, 'utf-8') )

But the risult is the same.
Any help?

Thank you

But I can import a key previously generated with key.bit.
So perhaps it is related to key bits?

I don't have experience using PEM with Bit. But the PEM was generated outside of Bit? Because when I generate a PrivateKey using Bit, export it to PEM and then import it again it works.
