How do I get around the " No module named 'Crypto' " error after doing "pip install pycrypto"?

Question

Basically, I'm trying to bring Chemobot into one of my own chatrooms, and its creator has suggested me that I should run the .py script on my own machine. I've barely started programming in python and my first interest as of now is to run that file.

I'm using:

Windows command prompt (cmd) to run
Python 3.6 (I'm uneasy about this, he run the code with 2.7)
Windows 8.1
Notepad++ to edit files
Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools which I was prompted to install from here.

Errors I'm getting:

However when I enter the command python main.py, I get the following error:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600]
(c) 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Python36>python main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

le>
    from Crypto.Cipher import AES
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Crypto'

C:\Python36>

Running pip install pycrypto gives me the following error:

My Questions:

Am I doing something wrong? Is it a compatibility issue? How do I get around this?

(P.S.: Once again, this is my first time even using python – I'd be grateful if you could explain me this in the easiest way you can.)

download `pycrypto` from here. http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto — orvi, May 16 '17 at 07:22
@orvi I'm afraid the website doesn't contain the files for Python version 3.6, should I downgrade? — Berry Holmes, May 16 '17 at 07:27
well, instead of `pycrypto` you may download this one. pycryptodome. ` pip install pycryptodomex --no-use-wheel`. it's replacement for the old PyCrypto library. — orvi, May 16 '17 at 07:44
Thanks, @orvi, and finally, should any of the files be changed to remove any *dependencies* on `pycrypto`? — Berry Holmes, May 16 '17 at 08:17

It looks like PyCrypto is not being maintained currently. So, it's better you switch to PyCryptodome.

pip install pycryptodome

If you still want to use PyCrypto you could still try,

Even after installing `pycryptodome`, running the script gives me the same error (the first error I put up in the question – `No module named 'Crypto'`. Should I change anything after I install `pycryptodome` to make it work? – Berry Holmes May 16 '17 at 08:10

check if the installation is good by running `python -m Cryptodome.SelfTest` – praba230890 May 16 '17 at 08:54
Looks like the command to test the installation is `python -m Crypto.SelfTest` – Manoj Jul 12 '17 at 20:40

If doing python -m Cryptodome.SelfTest is giving you an error, you can do:

pip uninstall pycryptodome

and then:

easy_install pycryptodome

Even after this, running python -m Cryptodome.SelfTest was giving me an error, but when I re-ran the file, it worked.

How do I get around the " No module named 'Crypto' " error after doing "pip install pycrypto"?
