python setup.py build - error about pycrypto HOT 6 OPEN

i got the same error, but it was because i did not install the python2 developer tools:

Linux installation requires the Python developer tools to be installed. These
can be found in the python-dev package on Debian/Ubuntu and the
python2-devel package on Red Hat/Fedora. If you are using a non-standard
Python version for your distribution, you may require a different package.
Consult your package manager's documentation for instructions on how to
install these packages. Other distributions may have different package names.

try installing the tools and attempting install again.

I updated Python and then installed Pycrypto and used sudo.... all went in and work.

Let me know how you get on.

i think i was unclear in my last comment. it installed successfully for me after i installed the python2-devel package (running fed21) 👍 glad you were able to get it working.

I got small different error:

src/MD2.c:31:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
     #include "Python.h"
                        ^
    compilation terminated.
    error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

I have running python on Ubuntu 14.04 inside VirtualBox on Ubuntu 12.04

And I'm using python3. But I still need python2-devel to resolve this problem?

from pycrypto.

My PyCharm don't know anything about python2-devel package. And pip too.
