[pycrypto] _RSA.py and generate_py

In the generate_py function of lib/Crypto/PublicKey/_RSA.py , it would
appear to be possible that the the primes p and q can be generated such that
the GCD( 65537, (p-1)(q-1)) != 1 which would result in a unusable key. If
anyone can clarify this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
