PyCrypto Library for python2.5

[Navraj Chohan]

There is an import error for pycrypto.

Here is a potential solution by Vaibhav:

1- Download and extract Pcrypto to a temp Library L

   I used http://www.amk.ca/files/python/crypto/pycrypto-2.0.1.tar.gz

2 - Go to the temp Library L
 And typed "/usr/bin/python setup.py install --install-lib PATH_TO_APP_DIR", where PATH_TO_APP_DIR is the top level directory of the app

I tested the solution first with Sdk of Gae :
        python2.5 ../dev_appserver.py guestbook/ --port=8090 --address=128.111.55.230

This works.
Then I tested with Appscale .
Adding the import line - "from Crypto.Cipher import AES" to the guestbook App and tried to deploy guestbook app on Appscale , but it showed an ImportError.
After that I nstalled the lib on guestbook App directory and again tried to run an AppScale instance which deploys guestbook . And the app now comes up without any import errors.

I have also tried 1 generic solution , where you dont have to do it for each app , but that one doesn't work

This work around seems to work. I now applied it directly into the deployed application. But your work around implies that this is performed in the app before it is packaged into a tar, correct ?

  Geert,

          Ya either you can upload an app from command line without packaging into tar .

        And if u want to tar , yes you will have to install the pcrypto library and then package it into a tar after that and upload.
