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  I looked for duplicates and you might say that there are some  but I tried the solutions  although most are not even solutions  and nothing worked   You can see what the files are like for PyCrypto below

Well this might appear weird but after installing pycrypto or pycryptodome   we need to update the directory name crypto to Crypto in lib site-packages  Reference

On the mac    if you run into this   try to see if you can import crypto instead   If so   the package name is the issue C vs c   To get around this   just add these lines to the top of your script   import crypto import sys sys modules  Crypto     crypto   You know should be able to import paramiko successfully

WARNING  Don t use crypto or pycrypto anymore  As you can read on this page  the usage of pycrypto is not safe anymore   Pycrypto is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow in the ALGnew function in block templace c  It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the python application  It was assigned the CVE-2013-7459 number  Pycrypto didn   t release any fix to that vulnerability and no commit was made to the project since Jun 20  2014   Update 2021-01-18  The CVE is fixed now  thanks  SumitBadsara for pointing it out    You can find the current status of the open security tickets for each package at the Debian security tracker   python-crypto pycryptodome  Use Python3 s pycryptodome instead  Make sure to uninstall all versions of crypto and pycrypto first  then install pycryptodome  pip3 uninstall crypto  pip3 uninstall pycrypto  pip3 install pycryptodome  All of these three packages get installed to the same folder  named Crypto  Installing different packages under the same folder name can be a common source for errors  Best practice  virtual environments In order to avoid problems with pip packages in different versions or packages that install under the same folder  i e  pycrypto and pycryptodome  you can make use of a so called virtual environment  There  the installed pip packages can be managed for every single project individually  To install a virtual environment and setup everything  use the following commands    install python3 and pip3 sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install python3 sudo apt install python3-pip    install virtualenv pip3 install virtualenv    install and create a virtual environment in your target folder mkdir target folder cd target folder python3 -m virtualenv      now activate your venv and install pycryptodome source bin activate pip3 install pycryptodome    check if everything worked     start the interactive python console and import the Crypto module   when there is no import error then it worked python  gt  gt  gt  from Crypto Cipher import AES  gt  gt  gt  exit      don t forget to deactivate your venv again deactivate  For more information  see pycryptodome org

I had the same problem  though on Linux   The solution was quite simple - add   libraries  - name  pycrypto   version   2 6    to my app yaml file  Since this worked correctly in the past  I assume this is a new requirement

User · Answer

Try with pip3   sudo pip3 install pycrypto

User · Answer

I ran into this on Mac as well  and it seems to be related to having an unfortunately similarly named  crypto  module  not sure what that is for  installed alongside of pycrypto via pip   The fix seems to be removing both crypto and pycrypto with pip   sudo pip uninstall crypto sudo pip uninstall pycrypto   and reinstalling pycrypto   sudo pip install pycrypto   Now it works as expected when I do something like   from Crypto Cipher import AES

User · Answer

If you are using this module with Python3 and having trouble with import  try this  pip uninstall crypto pip uninstall pycryptodome pip install pycryptodome  Good Luck

User · Answer

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

User · Answer

type command   sudo pip install pycrypto

To date  I m having same issue when importing from Crypto Cipher import AES even when I ve installed reinstalled pycrypto a few times  End up it s because pip defaulted to python3     pip --version pip 18 0 from  usr local lib python3 7 site-packages pip  python 3 7    installing pycrypto with pip2 should solve this issue
