Short Description
The aliyunsdkcore package depends on pycrypto>=2.6.1, which is deprecated, unmaintained, and fails to build on Python 3.13+ due to missing internal Python headers (longintrepr.h).
Impact:
- Breaks installations on modern Python versions (3.13+).
- Security risk due to unpatched vulnerabilities in
pycrypto.
Suggested Fix:
Replace pycrypto with the maintained fork pycryptodome (API-compatible drop-in replacement).
Reproduction Steps:
- Install
aliyunsdkcoreon Python 3.13. - Observe build failure due to
pycryptodependency.
Workaround:
Manually install pycryptodome and remove pycrypto, but this should be fixed upstream.
Additional Notes for the Report
- Link to
pycryptodeprecation: PyPI pycryptodomeis the recommended alternative (used byparamiko,google-auth, etc.).- Example error:
src/_fastmath.c:33:10: fatal error: longintrepr.h: No such file or directory
This change would improve compatibility and security. Thanks for maintaining the SDK!
