Unless you specifically install pre-compiled wheel, pycryptodome will require that there’s a working c/c++ compiler on your machine (eg, msvc). More details here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers.

Why it tries to do this “compilation” part ? According to the screenshot (btw, screenshots are bad) you are running Python 3.9 and according to the release here: https://pypi.org/project/pycryptodome/#files - there is no pre-compiled wheel (.whl file) for Windows running python 3.9 …

Options:

  • install msvc
  • downgrade or use pyenv or similar to have multiple python versions and use python 3.8 for now before pycryptodome actually ships python3.9 compatible package for your box.

Thanks for the help. I downgraded my python version to 3.8 and it worked for me.
