Python ImportError No module named crypto.PublicKey.RSA

When I try to execute a python program, I get this from terminal

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ring.py", line 1, in <module>
import os, hashlib, random, crypto.PublicKey.RSA
ImportError: No module named crypto.PublicKey.RSA

I have no idea how to solve this and other questions have proven completely useless to my situation.

Is the module there but in the wrong place? Should I download modules from somewhere like for node.js? Or it's more like Java?

then

py -m pip install pycryptodome

Install Pycryptodome using python3 -m pip install pycryptodome. crypto.PublicKey.RSA is not proper, instead try using from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA.

The correct package to install is pycrypto.

pip install pycrypto

Should work on most platforms, otherwise get Pip from https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/

Edit: As mentioned in the comments below, pip install pycryptodome installs a newer, drop-in replacement for pycrypto and is the better option going forward.

If you are using Python 3.7, it already exists. Just change the folder name in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages from crypto to Crypto

Rename crypto directory under “Lib/site-packages” to Crypto, then importing will work.

Yes, you have to install it. Try this from terminal:

sudo apt-get install python-pip
pip install crypto

For mac, try to use easy_install. 

sudo easy_install python-pip
pip install crypto

If crypto is installed properly, import like below:

 from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA
