Python AES import error Please

Question

I have AES inside Cipher inside Crypto(Python27\Lib\Crypto\Cipher\AES module)

When I try to import AES from Crypto.Cipher import AES I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
    from Crypto.Cipher import AES
  File "C:\Python27\lib\Crypto\Cipher\AES.py", line 50, in <module>
    from Crypto.Cipher import _AES
ImportError: cannot import name _AES

But I can import another module like from Crypto.Cipher import blockalgo working fine. So I'm guessing there some error in AES module?

Solution

Most likely, your PyCrypto installation is broken and _AES.dll is missing.

Try to reinstall it according to this question: How do I install PyCrypto on Windows?
