Error when installing cryptography 1.8.1 module

I have 64 bit Windows 7, and 32 bit python 2.7.13 installed. I also installed VC for python 2.7.

I'm trying to install paramiko 2.1.2. It gives an error when installing cryptography 1.8.1.

Therefore I try to install cryptography 1.8.1 separatley. But when I try to do it it gives the following error: 

build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\_openssl.c(434) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open in
clude file: 'openssl/opensslv.h': No such file or directory
error: command 'C:\\Users\\b_ozel\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Common\\Microsoft\\
Visual C++ for Python\\9.0\\VC\\Bin\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

What is wrong?

If you do not mind installing the cryptography package from binary instead of compiling from source, make sure you have a pip version above 8.

The pip version that comes with python 2.7 is quite old (1.x) and that only understands installing cryptography (and paramiko) from source.

To upgrade pip: 

pip install --upgrade pip

I managed to install cryptography using pip instead of manually installation.
