How do I install PyCrypto on Windows?

👻 Check our latest review to choose the best laptop for Machine Learning engineers and Deep learning tasks!

I"ve read every other google source and SO thread, with nothing working.

Python 2.7.3 32bit installed on Windows 7 64bit. Download, extracting, and then trying to install PyCrypto results in "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat".

So I install MinGW and tack that on the install line as the compiler of choice. But then I get the error "RuntimeError: chmod error".

How in the world do I get around this? I"ve tried using pip, which gives the same result. I found a prebuilt PyCrypto 2.3 binary and installed that, but it"s nowhere to be found on the system (not working).

Any ideas?
