>> pip install pycryptodome
from Crypto.Cipher import AES #Works
or
>> pip install pycryptodomex
from Cryptodome.Cipher import AES
For python3 the package name is now pycryptodome or pycryptodomex
If you need compatibility with your project with Python2 use pycryptodome or else use pycryptodomex which is a library independent of the old PyCrypto.
hello i had the same problem: _an almost drop-in replacement for the old PyCrypto library. You install it with:
$ pip install pycryptodome ((3.8.2)) or the latest version go to this directory : 2) [C:\Users\s****\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages\crypto]
here try to change the file name crypto to Crypto with upper case C because they import it as Crypto in every package. it works for me, good luck :)
According to the PyPI page, pycryptodomex is available under the name Cryptodome instead of Crypto
You will have to install the Cryptography package. Visit here for more details.
Or you can try pip install at the terminal:
pip3 install pycrypto
If you have installed cryptodome, you can try to create a symbolic link
ln -s Cryptodome Crypto
