I need Cryptogrphy in Python please .

[NicolasG]

Looking around for a Cryptography tool kit, the best recommendations I
found about was for pyCrypto. I try to install it unsuccessfully in my
windowsXP SP2 with python 2.4.3 and I get the following message :
C:\Python24\pycrypto-2.0.1>python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
error: The .NET Framework SDK needs to be installed before building
extensions f
or Python.

I have installed .NET framework latest release.
Unfortunately the pyCrypto project looks abandoned , I couldn't find an
active mailing list and the last release are a couple of year old.

Can some one guide me how to fix the problem above or point me to
another Cyrptography library that I can use easily ?

Thanks.
