Subject: [PYTHON-CRYPTO] PyCrypto 1.9a4 win32 bugs?
Message-ID: <OAEGBDMBGHAMLAAA@mailcity.com>

Hello. PyCrypto mostly works fine however I have come
across two problems.

System:
 Win2k sp2
 Python 2.2.1
 Mingw32 2.95.3-5
 Borland 5.5

RIPEMD will not compile under borland or Mingw32
(output from mingw32 at the end of this message).
When I comment out RIPEMD in setup.py Mingw32 can build everything else fine (I don't need it anyway). Borland still
fails (error on AES module which I need so I just using
the Mingw32 built version).

No access to VC++ so don't know if it would work.

When using PyCrypto everything else seems to work except
for Crypto.Util.randpool.RandomPool  where I get the
following error:

>>> from Crypto.Util.randpool import RandomPool
>>> rp = RandomPool()
>>> rp.stir()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "Crypto\Util\randpool.py", line 100, in stir
    self.add_event()
  File "Crypto\Util\randpool.py", line 151, in add_event
    delta = self._noise()
  File "Crypto\Util\randpool.py", line 180, in _noise
    delta = (t - self._lastcounter)/self._ticksize*1e6
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'float' and 'NoneType'

I also get that error when trying to add an event. _ticksize
always seems to be a NoneType and doesn't seem to get set.
This is not a major problem for me but it would be good to
have RandomPool working as I may need it in the future.

Here is the error from RIPEMD mingw32 compile:
