cannot install - windows - after applying pending fix for 1084781

[Ted Speers]

I was getting a 'chmod error'

There was bug reported which said a merge was pending.

I made the changes to setup.py per the pending merge ( https://github.com/sebastinas/pycrypto/commit/e0f9803f48a850e7d46bf84d6250e0c11e7a3a81 )

if not os.path.exists("config.status"):

delete
            if os.system("chmod 0755 configure") != 0:
                raise RuntimeError("chmod error")

add
            if hasattr(os, "chmod"):
                import stat
                os.chmod("configure", stat.S_IRUSR | stat.S_IWUSR | stat.S_IXUSR | stat.S_IRGRP | stat.S_IXGRP | stat.S_IROTH | stat.S_IXOTH)

now i get an "autoconf error"

I was able to install from binaries located here: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml

Maybe I remember that incorrectly, but that doesn't mingw come with some sort of shell? Have tried running it from that shell instead of cmd.exe?
