pycrypto no longer supported (especially in aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc)

[TheKaliHacks]

Expected Behaviour
Requirement already satisfied

Actual Behaviour
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
DEPRECATION: Loading egg at /usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages/mitm6-0.3.0-py3.11.egg is deprecated. pip 24.3 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to use pip for package installation.. Discussion can be found at pypa/pip#12330
Requirement already satisfied: pexpect in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (from -r requirements.txt (line 1)) (4.8.0)

Is there any solution to this

[PythonCoderUnicorn]

this is the closest open issue to the one i have run into while installing , i copied the commands for Linux and most of the setup is fine except for pycrypto build

  ERROR: Failed building wheel for pycrypto
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pycrypto, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

The line 87 on Python.h file is : #include "cpython/pytime.h"

In the cpython/pytime.h file, I have this warning : warning: ‘struct timespec’ declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration

I think the error is related _PyTime_t API.

In this link about the lonintrepr.h issue, webknjaz claims

"Thanks! It usually doesn't make sense for us to be working on the next interpreter support until rc are out because the build deps like Cython can't keep up with the ABI changes anyway."

Is it because the project doesn't compile with python 3.11 ? I will try with older versions of python 3.

PS :

I tried with python3.10 and It works ! I think it's a dependency problem in python >=3.11

[raaznp]

edit requirements.txt file

change pycrypto to crpytodome

sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Enjoy!!
