PyCrypto installed!

I have installed the Windows binaries for PyCrypto version 2.0.1 into my C:\Python25 directory. I figured I needed a real cryptography library after using the deprecated Enigma-machine rotor library in the past which is no longer part of the Python distribution. To check PyCrypto has installed correctly, open an interactive session:

>>> from Crypto.Cipher import DES

As long as you don't get an ImportError you're ready to roll.
