from Crypto import Random -> ImportError: cannot import name Random
Looks like the Windows install has that package as crpyto, not Crypto. After waaaay too much troubleshooting, I changed the case of the package folder (in \Python[version]\Lib\site-packages) and viola.
You may have another Crypto
module in your Python package. You can check that with
import Crypto
print(Crypto.__file__)
# should print /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Crypto/__init__.pyc
If you find another Crypto module, either rename/remove it or adjust sys.path
Also, your version of pycrypto may be outdated. Check Crypto.__version__
- Crypto.Random
exists since 2.1.0alpha1.
You mentioned that you installed Crypto in/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Crypto/
.
But, from your comments it seems that you also have Crypto installed in/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Crypto/
.
Therefore you have two installations and the later is taking precedence because /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/
appears first in sys.path.
I had the exact same problem and fixed it by renaming /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Crypto
to something else EG Crypto_bak
just so you can rollback if something goes wrong.
