Problems installing Python (3.7) lib STEEM, dep pycrypto fails (and is no longer maintained)

in python •  6 years ago 

Devs: With the steem dependancy pycrypto DEAD/unsupported & source broken, isn't it time to FIX Steem lib by using either pycryptodome or fixing pycrypto? Or are you not allowed to for legal cryptographic export purposes?

Could Devs please explain to me why its not worth fixing the broken python libs?
I appreciate the courtesy.

The following post on SO has a workaround to fix pycrypto enough to build a wheel, and install pycrypto using pip.

Have installed STEEM python3 libs on Raspbian (Rasp Pi) linux with ZERO issues...building wheels etc zero problems.

So.... with Raspian ~ Debian which many linux versions are based on (Ubuntu etc), it seems that Windows may be the only OS which has STEEM build problems. Since there is an easy workaround (which took ages to find), no wonder Steemit Devs are not interested in fixing STEEM WINDOWS.
