Can you file a bug with them? We don't have any control over PyCrypto.

This will need to be addressed with the PyCrypto developers.

I am pasting my same comment in Issue2351 here also. Can you address this issue.

This is infact blocking our installation process. Primarily if we do a setup.py from the Reviewboard package, it fails at the pycrypto. I am not sure what next to install, What are the other dependencies thats installed etc.

Can you please help us out here. If we want to remove the pycrypto installations alone from the normal setup.py on the Reviewboard, can we do that, because it hinders the normal flow.

Installing gcc, that solved my problem.

In general, you can probably get a copy of PyCrypto from your Linux distribution, assuming Linux.

PyCrypto is very much needed, so removing it from setup.py won't buy you much.

This isn't the first time they've gone down... we probably should just mirror some version of it.

Okay, I've placed a copy of it in our mirror directory. Hopefully the script will properly fall back on that when installing the Review Board package. It won't work automatically if straight-up installing pycrypto from easy_install.
