I looked at what the OpenSSL smime tool does, and noticed it sets the
detached flag as well, which you didn't do in your sample below. When I
add that, I get output that looks compatible with the openssl tool.

In other words, change this:

>     p7 = s.sign(buf,SMIME.PKCS7_TEXT)

To this:

p7 = s.sign(buf,SMIME.PKCS7_TEXT|SMIME.PKCS7_DETACHED)
