Why are you using "pycrypto-on-pypi"? If you want this project called
PyCrypto:

https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycrypto


then I would expect this command to work:

pip install pycrypto


Although pycrypto only officially supports up to Python 3.3 and appears to
be no longer actively maintained.

I don't know what this is:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycrypto-on-pypi

but I suspect it is older and only supports Python 2.
