ModuleNotFoundError No module named Crypto

Question

Hi. I am trying to run this line in python.

from Crypto.Cipher import AES

But I am getting this error

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Crypto'

I tried installing the module using

pip install crypto

It was successful but when I ran the code, I still get the same error

Answer 1

The module you’ve installed is different.

To install the module that you are tying to use, run the following code:

pip install pycryptodome

Hi, @Harika,

I had the same problem (though on Linux). The solution was quite simple - add:

libraries:
- name: pycrypto
  version: "2.6"

Answer 2

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!

Answer 3

>> 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.
