I tried installing it in a virtual linux machine and it worked fine, but on Windows it won't work.

I have Windows 7 and Python 3.8 but this is how I did it.

Install pycryptodome instead of pycrypto. Pycryptodome is a fork of pycrypto and you should not use pycrypto anymore.

pip3 install pycryptodome

Install simple-crypt without dependencies

pip3 install simple-crypt --no-dependencies

The problem is not with simple-crypt but its main dependency pycrypto.

The problem is that pycrypto requires the compilation of C code and this is bound to fail by just naively using pip install ....

However, check here to get to know workarounds for installing it on Windows.

Once pycrypto is available to your interpreter (i.e. import Crypto works), then you may want install the other simple-crypt dependencies manually (through pip) and finally install simple-crypt from pip with the --no-dependencies flag.

Have you ensured that the `pycrypto` installation can be found by `pip`? – norok2 Jul 18 '19 at 08:53

OK, than you may want install the other `simple-crypt` dependencies manually (through `pip`) and finally install `simple-crypt` from `pip` with the `--no-dependencies` flag. It should work. – norok2 Jul 18 '19 at 09:05
