app engine: ImportError: No module named Crypto.Hash

Question

I have a script that uses Crypto.Hash but import fails with error:

ImportError: No module named Crypto.Hash

in my sys.pa

Answer 1

It seems a problem that happens on MAC OSX, all I have managed to do is following:

firstly you need to know where your install of pycripto is, running

sudo pip install pycrypto

either you install the library or you get the path where it is installed

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pycrypto in ...

then, considering that this is a problem that does not happen in production on appengine, I did this:

try:
    from Crypto.Hash import SHA
except ImportError:
    import sys
    sys.path.append('/[mypath]/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages')
    from Crypto.Hash import SHA # requires PyCrypto
