Looking around for a Cryptography tool kit, the best recommendations I
found about was for pyCrypto. I try to install it unsuccessfully in my
windowsXP SP2 with python 2.4.3 and I get the following message :
C:\Python24\pycrypto-2.0.1>python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
error: The .NET Framework SDK needs to be installed before building
extensions f
or Python.

I have installed .NET framework latest release.
Unfortunately the pyCrypto project looks abandoned , I couldn't find an
active mailing list and the last release are a couple of year old.

Can some one guide me how to fix the problem above or point me to
another Cyrptography library that I can use easily ?

Thanks.

There are several. What do you want to do with it?

I have made a site using Karrigell as a web server and I want to
provide cryptography services to the visitors. They should wirte their
text on the site and be able choose different encryption algorithms to
apply on the text .
The SDK is different from the framework. ;)

How can I fix this ?

I need the modules source to use it with my web server.
Ps. The project still looks active to me, and has an active mailing
list:
http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto.html

The last messages in the mailing list was on august (only one message)
and the author does said that he does not reply to the this list , he
point if anyone have an issue to use the bug trucker at sourceforge
which looks not helpful ...

cheers..

Um, why? Just as an exercise? If that's the case, you might enjoy
implementing the algorithms in Python. They'd be slow but that might
not matter.

I thought you were trying to compile and install the pyCrypto
extension? If that is the case, then download the installer from the
page I linked to.

I use pycrypto under *nix and Windows. Under windows, I compile it with
VC++ 2003 without any problem.
