ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Crypto.Math'

Question

On Windows, I wanna run pyinstaller myapp.py -w -f but I have some errors with crypto modules.

In my code I use 4 imports, each one of these 4 imports (independently) gives me this same error

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request
import browser_cookie3

I have tried few things I have found on Google and Stackoverflow :

pip install pycryptodome
pip install pycryptodomex
pip install pycrypto
pip install pycrypto --upgrade

This is the error of pyinstaller triggered by thoses lines (each one triggers the error):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Crypto.Math'

WORKAROUND : copy Math from Cryptodome folder to Crypto folder, no error anymore...

Answer 1

There are conflicts in Windows because the system is case-insensitive. You can check the official explanation from the FAQ in pycryptodome.

The suggestion is to uninstall and reinstall:

pip uninstall crypto
pip uninstall pycryptodome
pip install pycryptodome

With Conda, this worked for me:

conda install pycryptodome
conda uninstall crypto
conda install pyinstaller

Answer 2

sometimes they failed to hook the modules from the virtual environments.Now this time try without Virtualenv and install all modules in C: drive then use your command like,

pyinstaller -F -w myapp.py

Answer 3

To solve this error first install Build Tools on your computer if you are using Windows from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools&rel=16.

Then update the setuptools o Python pip install --upgrade setuptools

Lastly go and install PyCrypto package with pip.

Use pycrypto pip package to install module. pip install pycrypto

This should solve your issue.
