[pycrypto] python crypto with python 3.0 or 3.1

[Grail Dane]

Hi All
So I am going to go on a limb a little and say I have successfully compiled pycrypto with python 3.1.1
The attached patch makes the necessary changes to remove any errors during install.If someone would like to give me a small test script, I am happy to see if my tinkering actually worksor is just allowing it to install??
I am also aware that some of the changes are probably not the best way to do it, but I am happy to investigatefurther once I have it working :)
CheersGrail

Hi
Thanks for the speedy reply :)
I am a little confused though as the doco for 3.1 says:
PyVarObjectThis is an extension of PyObject that adds the ob_size field. This is only used for objects that have some notion of length. This type does not often appear in the Python/C API. It corresponds to the fields defined by the expansion of the PyObject_VAR_HEAD macro.This appears to be the same as what is written in the doco for 2.6.4 as well, which pycrypto seems to work with.
Well i will keep looking to see what i can find out.
CheersGrail
