Proxy needs pycrypto module. [Documentation] #4

Closed kurtismullins closed 11 years ago

kurtismullins commented 11 years ago

In XUbuntu 12.10 I ran into an error while trying to run:

pypy ./proxy.py

It would return an error complaining about a missing Module (AES). After some quick searching, it turns out I needed to have the pycrypto module on my system.

Special note: After installing; I was still unable to get this to work with pypy. I had to resort to just using the standard CPython Interpreter:

python ./proxy.py

I believe this dependency should probably be mentioned in the documentation. Others running in to this problem may benefit by using CPython instead of pypy as well.

Encryption is pain, but there is a way to run it under pypy. The trick is not to use PyCrypto fastmath module. This can be achieved by changing PyCrypto setup.py Try this: on line 160 in setup.py add 

    self.__remove_extensions(["Crypto.PublicKey._fastmath"])
    return

and then install this patched version again.

The dependency is mentioned in the documentation: "Optional (mandatory for proxy mode) PyCrypto dependency if you want the datastream to be encrypted. Configurable in config." If it is not clear enough, I would welcome suggestions how to improve it.

Hey,

I haven't had a chance to mess with this, yet. Sorry. Feel free to close. I'll review the documentation and what-not and submit a pull request if I think I can offer any help :)

Thanks!
