Error when trying to import the Crypto package

Question

When I issue these import commands:

import sys
import cv2
import numpy as np
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from Crypto.Util.Padding import pad, unpad
from Crypto.Random import get_random_bytes

I see this error message:

File "C:/Users/user/Desktop/image-encryption-main/PyImgEnc.py", line 4, in <module>
        from Crypto.Cipher import AES
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Crypto'

These are the libraries I installed:

pip install wheel
pip install scipy
pip install pbkdf2
pip install pyaes
pip install pycryptodome

How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Upgrade pip to latest version before executing the commands:

1. pip uninstall crypto
2. pip uninstall pycrypto
3. pip install pycryptodome
4. pip install pycryptodomex

This worked for me.
