Ok. I uninstalled everything related to Python including my ctypes and wxPython installations. I reinstalled Python 2.4.3 and setuptools 0.6c7. It still gives me the TypeError as before.
Also, now it won't recognize "python" as a command name. While I can start python's command line terminal by going to Start, Run, and typing "python", if I open a command window and type the following:
python setup.py bdist_wininst
I get
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Unless I actually type out the path to the python executable. Maybe there's something wrong with the PyCrypto module itself.
It works fine for me. What's appears to be wrong is that you have (or had) more than one Python installation, and I suspect the one you uninstalled was not the one that you were using.
I don't know. I guess I'll post this to the c.l.py group too.
I wouldn't bother until you find out what other Python(s) are installed on your system and get clear about which ones you're running. I tried installing PyCrypto from the same page you spoke of, and it worked fine for me using Python 2.4 on Windows.

I got it to work just now. I deleted the PyCrypto folder I had and unzipped it again. I had been told that one needed to add the following line to the setup.py file: from setuptools import setup Once I removed that, it worked like a charm. I am an utter fool. I apologize for taking up so much of your time this weekend. Thanks again for all your help. Mike
