ImportError: No module named Crypto.Cipher

Question

When I try to run app.py (Python 3.3, PyCrypto 2.6) my virtualenv keeps returning the error listed above. My import statement is just from Crypto.Cipher import AES

Answer 1

I had the same problem on my Mac when installing with pip. I then removed pycrypto and installed it again with easy_install, like this:

pip uninstall pycrypto
easy_install pycrypto

also as Luke commented: If you have trouble running these commands, be sure to run them as admin (sudo)

Hope this helps!

EDIT: As winklerr correctly notes above, pycrypto is no longer safe. Use pycryptodome instead, it is a drop-in replacement
