Python Requests: Where is Crypto.dll?
The Crypto.dll
file is part of the pycryptodome
library (previously known as pycrypto
). It is a popular library for cryptographic functions in Python. If you are using the requests
library and encounter an error related to Crypto.dll
, it means that the pycryptodome
library is required by some functionality in requests
.
To resolve this issue, you can install the pycryptodome
library using pip
. Open a command prompt or terminal and run the following command:
bashpip install pycryptodome
After installing pycryptodome
, the Crypto.dll
should be available to requests
and any other library that relies on cryptographic functions.
If you are using Python 2.x, you might need to install pycrypto
instead of pycryptodome
:
bashpip install pycrypto
However, it is recommended to use pycryptodome
for Python 3.x as it is an actively maintained and improved version of pycrypto
.
After installing the required library, you can import and use the requests
library and any other libraries that need cryptographic functions without encountering the Crypto.dll
error.
