Issue getting crypto (from PyCrypto) installed to an updated version

Im using the crypto package, and theres a particular feature that I want to use - from Crypto import Random

However, my version of crypto is too low. Random is only available in crypto version 2.1, and running this command prints out that my version is too low - 

print(Crypto.__version__)
2.0.1

Im trying to update crypto, but running a pip install --upgrade crypto returns that everything is up to date - 

Requirement already up-to-date: crypto in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
Requirement already up-to-date: Naked in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages (from crypto)
Requirement already up-to-date: shellescape in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages (from crypto)
Requirement already up-to-date: requests in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages (from Naked->crypto)
Requirement already up-to-date: pyyaml in /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages (from Naked->crypto)

How can I get this crypto version updated to 2.1?

Thanks.

You should be installing pycrypto package, not crypto:

pip install --upgrade pycrypto

As a side note, I'm not sure about your use cases, but we've switched from pycrypto to a more actively developed and modern crypto-package called cryptography - works for us perfectly.
