How do I install PyCrypto on Windows?

by

If you don’t already have a C/C++ development environment installed that is compatible with the Visual Studio binaries distributed by Python.org, then you should stick to installing only pure Python packages or packages for which a Windows binary is available.

Fortunately, there are PyCrypto binaries available for Windows:

UPDATE:
As @Udi suggests in the comment below, the following command also installs pycrypto and can be used in virtualenv as well:
