Problems installing Python (3.7) lib STEEM, dep pycrypto fails (and is no longer maintained)
(Edited)
Lib pycryptodome is more up to date & installable with PY 3.7.
Any way to get STEEM lib installed with pycryptodome?
Otherwise I'll need to do hard way installing Vis C++ compiler.
If there is enough need for STEEM lib, surely STEEM should be relinked to pycryptodome?
My Dev machine is Win7. My live machine will be linux based NAS. Need to use GCC on NAS to compile libs there?

Have installed Vis Studio C++ whole module to try & install whatever libs & runtimes needed to compile whatever C modules are needed by pycrypt.... And I'm fairly certain I won't even need this module in my Python script just for doing posts!
Still have cl.exe exit status 2, and generally failure to build wheel for pycrypt module!
Installing python modules should take MINUTES or SECONDS.
Devs for STEEM, you guys have BROKEN python Libs out there!
Next I will try to build a wheel MANUALLY to install pycrypt.... and all just to get STEEM lib installed!! ??
If I don't manage that much, I will walk away from this Python project & Steemit. If DEV for Steemit is THIS BROKEN, I'm not particularly interested.
Devs: With the steem dependancy pycrypto DEAD/unsupported & source broken, isn't it time to FIX Steem lib by using either pycryptodome or fixing pycrypto? Or are you not allowed to for legal cryptographic export purposes?
Could Devs please explain to me why its not worth fixing the broken python libs?
I appreciate the courtesy.
The following post on SO has a workaround to fix pycrypto enough to build a wheel, and install pycrypto using pip.

Have installed STEEM python3 libs on Raspbian (Rasp Pi) linux with ZERO issues...building wheels etc zero problems.
So.... with Raspian ~ Debian which many linux versions are based on (Ubuntu etc), it seems that Windows may be the only OS which has STEEM build problems. Since there is an easy workaround (which took ages to find), no wonder Steemit Devs are not interested in fixing STEEM WINDOWS.
