I am new to Python (as of today) and having trouble following this example for AES: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycrypto/2.6.1 using Python 3.3

from Crypto.Cipher import AES

I downloaded the package from here https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/ (pycrypto-2.6.1.tar.gz) as I want it as a local dependency since this is a portable plugin for Sublime Text 3.

So I have /MyPLugin/Crypto/ and Crypto looks good having the expected __init__.py files in the right places.

In /MyPlugin/myplugin.py I am trying to import AES like in the example (from Crypto.Cipher import AES). I have tried many combinations with dots and stuff but nothing seems to work.

How can I import AES from this relative Crypto folder?

Couple of the tries:

from MyPlugin.Crypto.Cipher import AES = ImportError: cannot import name AES

import Crypto = ImportError: No module named 'Crypto'

import .Crypto = SyntaxError: invalid syntax

PS I made a mistake - it is using Python 3.3

Make sure that the library you are talking about is in your python path. Information about modifying your python path here. I'd try doing that. Although, when you add a new library this usually happens.
