ValueError: invalid version number '2.20.51.20100613'
I'm having problems installing pycrypto. Tried package manager: pip & easy_install, didn't work. Tried to manually install it via "python setup.py install", the same error like the above appears.
I've followed the instructions here and got stuck at installing pycrypto after installing "mingW" gcc, g++ and msys-base (MSYS shell environment)
Not really sure what to do now after several days of trying.
Here's the complete output of the error:
C:\Users\Denz\Desktop>pip install pycrypto
