Unable to use pycrypto lib in Google App Engine

all. I am unable to use pycrypto lib which supposed to come with GAE. In my app.yaml:

libraries: - name: pycrypto version: latest

In my code:

from Crypto.Cipher import AES

This will give me a module not found error. It appears this will happen on any module that is not under C:\Program Files\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\google_appengine\lib

But the package is listed under the GAE supported libraries like webapp2 and others which I do not have such problems. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/libraries27

There was an issue for a much older version which should be fixed. Issue number 1627.

The issue was fixed by 1.7.4. And I am on 1.9.17.

Anyone ran into this problem as well that could please provide a solution? Thanks!

Do a pip install pycrypto (or whatever you are normally doing to install new modules) locally and you'll be able to use pycryto. I know this contradicts to the regular way you use third-party libs that are supposedly already built-in in GAE but the pycrypt module doesn't seem to apply to that.
