You need a newer version of Python (>= 2.4), or a modified version of
PyCrypto 
that isn't missing the winrandom module.  (If you have a moment, please
bug 
Andrew Kuchling <amk at amk.ca> and ask him to contact me <dlitz at dlitz.net>

about this.  He doesn't seem to be getting my emails.)

I have another machine where I have python 2.5 and latest version of
pycrypto.
Even in the latest version, PyCrypto does not have a winrandom module. I
looked around to see that is a know bug.
