installing paramiko on Windows

This may sound like a repeated question on SF, but I could not find a clear answer to it, yet.So. I installed Paramiko 1.7 with "setup.py install" command and while running the demo.py program, I got this error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\fixavier\Desktop\paramiko-1.7\demos\demo.py", line 33, in <module>
    import paramiko
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\paramiko\__init__.py", line 69, in <module>
    from transport import randpool, SecurityOptions, Transport
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\paramiko\transport.py", line 32, in <module>
    from paramiko import util
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\paramiko\util.py", line 31, in <module>
    from paramiko.common import *
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\paramiko\common.py", line 99, in <module>
    from Crypto.Util.randpool import PersistentRandomPool, RandomPool
ImportError: No module named Crypto.Util.randpool

I'm getting this error even after installing PyCrypto 2.1. On running test.py(which comes with the installation), I got the following error -

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\fixavier\Desktop\pycrypto-2.0.1\pycrypto-2.0.1\test.py", line 18, in <module>
    from Crypto.Util import test
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\fixavier\Desktop\pycrypto-2.0.1\pycrypto-2.0.1\build/lib.win32-2.6\Crypto\Util\test.py", line 17, in <module>
    import testdata
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\fixavier\Desktop\pycrypto-2.0.1\pycrypto-2.0.1\test\testdata.py", line 450, in <module>
    from Crypto.Cipher import AES
ImportError: cannot import name AES

I don't have the confidence to go ahead and install AES after all this, for all I know I may get another ImportError! Please advice.Is it the way of installation thats problematic?

Looks like your pycrypto installation is broken or not installed.

Try to get a pycrypto for python2.6 installer here and try again after installing it.
