Well, no answer from Jim or pycrypto's maintainer. I eventually found these:

http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto

Manually installing first lets zc.buildoutsftp install, however, 
whenever I run buildout:

- I still get the following warning whenever I run buildout:

Download error: unknown url type: sftp -- Some packages may not be found!

   Is that expected?

- pycrypto likes to be pretty verbose:

paramiko.transport: Connected (version 2.0, client OpenSSH_3.9p1)
paramiko.transport: Authentication (publickey) failed.
paramiko.transport: Connected (version 2.0, client OpenSSH_3.9p1)
paramiko.transport: Authentication (publickey) successful!
paramiko.transport: Secsh channel 1 opened.
paramiko.transport.sftp: [chan 1] Opened sftp connection (server version 3)

   Any way to shut this up?

- most seriously, buildout now seems to hang when it's almost done. I'm 
guessing this is the same windows-specific behaviour I mentioned before 
(seems to be to do with spawned processes) although this one is onyl 
escaped from with a Ctrl-C. Anyone else seen this?

cheers,

Chris
