How to install the pycrypto module for a definite python version

Question

I'm trying to install "Userful MultiSeat-X64-5.0.1 ..." in Ubuntu 13.04 x64, and encountered the following error at the end of the installation:

File "<string>", line 6, in <module>
ImportError: No module named Crypto.Cipher

This message means, that there is no pycrypto module.

There is how I should install it:

pip install pycrypto

But the problem is that userful5 requires python 2.6 to work and ubuntu 13.04 uses python 2.7 as default. I've installed python 2.6, but I don't know how to install the pycrypto module for it.

pip install pycrypto

returns:

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pycrypto in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

As I understand, this module is already installed in python 2.7 But how can I install it to python 2.6?

Answer 1

You should use pip for python2.6 (or easy_install)

pip-2.6 install pycrypto

Use easy_install to get pip-2.6

easy_install-2.6 pip
pip-2.6 install pycrypto
