I've been trying to install Paramiko in a Python 3.4 virtual environment. I tried pip installing, as well as easy_installing with pre-built binaries and neither worked. Suggested Here. Both kept saying that winrandom is not a valid Win32 application.

I found that is is a problem with PyCrypto, and not Paramiko directly, so I installed from source and pre-built binaries and still can't get it to find/use a module called winrandom.

Have any of you solved this problem? It's very frustrating.

    2.6.1 has a [relative import](https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/commit/10abfc8633bac653eda4d346fc051b2f07554dcd#diff-f14623ba167ec6ff27cbf0e005d732a7) that's fixed in 2.7. Probably all you need to do is fix that import in `Crypto\Random\OSRNG\nt.py`. – Eryk Sun May 20 '14 at 23:40
  • @eryksun thanks for finding that for me, I'll have to try it tomorrow. I was so frustrated I started back porting from 3.4 to 2.7 – blakev May 21 '14 at 00:44
  • yep, that's fixed it. @eryksun - maybe you should post it as an answer. So the question will can be closed! – beduin Jun 02 '14 at 09:12

From the same link, change nt.py (...\Lib\site-packages\Crypto\Random\OSRNG\nt.py)

change 

import winrandom

to

from . import winrandom
