Yes, you're right. The package is called py-amkCrypto in pkgsrc, homepage at
http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto.html, works with py-twisted on Unix.

... and that's right!

To build python packages you will sometimes need a C compiler. gcc for
Windows is called "mingw" or "mingw32" (mingw.sf.net), but I suggest using
Dev-C++ from Bloodshed.net (http://www.bloodshed.net/).

To "teach" distutils to use mingw, you will need some voodo:

Propably it exists somewhere. Google! :)
