Error 1 while installing pip package (pycrypto)

I've been trying to install pycrypto. After getting this error, I tried to uninstall python 3.7 and install 3.6 as specified by a thread somewhere. This didn't make it any better. Please let me know how to resolve this. I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, Python 3.6.

You can also install via wheels, which usually include the binary so you don't have to compile.
