[Pythonmac-SIG] pycrypto and gcc 4

[Mark Phillips]

Yesterday I attempted to install the pycrypto package. "setup.py  
build" invoked gcc, which threw a huge number of errors on  
signedness. As it was taco time, I left for the day.

Today, I read through some lists and the "signedness" errors for gcc  
v4 sounded benign so I ran the build again. This time it sailed  
through without errors. Feeling bold and a bit light on coffee, I set  
aside the obvious concerns and ran "setup.py install". No errors were  
raised.

Alas, my bubble of ignorance was burst rather quickly by IDLE.  
"import Crypto.Cipher" fails on ImportError: No module named Crypto.  
Crypto and other files are in site-packages.

I have the Universal-MacPython-2.4.3-2006-04-07 installed on Mac OS  
10.4.6 PPC. I thought (hoped) that since pycrypto setup builds from  
source I would slip through without a problem.

Ah, well, so, what to do next?

TIA,
