I need to install pycrypto for a project that requires pycrypto. PyCryptodome is not an option, sadly.

I have tried what everybody seems to recommend, aka powershell commands proposed here but to no avail.

I set VCINSTALLDIR in my user vars to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\. I double checked that stdint.h is indeed at VCINSTALLDOR\Tool\MSVC\14.14.26428\include\. I then ran

set CL=-FI"%VCINSTALLDOR%Tool\MSVC\14.14.26428\include\stdint.h"

and

pip install pycrypto

still no luck. Tried it both with and without admin privileges.

Am I missing something?

  • If you don't get a good feedback here, try posting the same question at superuser.com - as it is more related with environment than coding. – jsbueno Mar 20 '20 at 14:38

for me "pip install pycrypto" for some reason my command prompt thinks install is the module so I have to use "python -m pip pycrypto" might be a last ditch effort but if you end up being desperate might as well try it :/

  • As far as I know the issue is missing information in some header file of the pycrypto package. `python -m` does not magically fix that I think. Tried it anyway, but no success. – Tharrry Mar 20 '20 at 15:08
