>Description:
I'm the maintainer of a secure storage service (sort of like Amazon S3 but secure, or sort of like Tarsnap but open source and decentralized), named Tahoe-LAFS. Tahoe-LAFS is incompatible with PyCrypto 2.2 due to bugs in PyCrypto 2.2:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/src/allmydata/_auto_deps.py?rev=4749

The current release of PyCrypto is 2.3 which merely fixes a couple of bugs from PyCrypto 2.2:

Please upgrade the port of security/python-pycrypto from 2.2 to 2.3. Thank you!
