Description
I happened to use pycrypto, when following PythonGuide.
After I failed installing the package on windows with Python 3.6, I found this issue about pycrpto.
It seems that pycrypto is no longer maintained. So I wonder if the section about pycrypto should be updated to pycryptodome or at lease notify issues when using python3 or on windows.

Locate the section about pycrypto in the PythonGuide and review the referenced pycrypto maintenance issue and installation problems on Windows with Python 3.6. Update the section to address pycryptodome or clearly warn about the reported compatibility and maintenance issues; done means the guidance reflects the current package situation.
