The rsa library used in the drogulus can generate key pairs. However, because it is implemented in Python this process can be painfully slow for keys of any strength. If OpenSSL is installed on the host computer the drogulus keygen command should make use of it instead of the rsa module for the sake of speedy generation of strong (long) keys.
