<p>Gentoo has discontinued support for PyCrypto. We recommend that users

unmerge PyCrypto:

</p>
|
|
|
|
<p># emerge --unmerge “dev-python/pycrypto”</p>

<p>NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining PyCrypto have discontinued
|
|
support at this time. PyCryptodome is the canonical successor to
|
|
PyCrypto.
