[pycrypto] _fastmath None !!

Ok... here is attached program. 

The problem seems to be 
a. Either package specific (pycrypto package installed using easy_install and/or from rpm as dependency from paramiko.)
   I use virtual env, and when I install pycrypto using easy_install, the _fastmath.so is not present in the egg. 

b. serialization of keys in to file.

Basically, if u run the attached program it works on all my test machines.
If you create the keys and save them on one machine, and try to read them (comment the key generation, saving part), then it does not work on some machines.

I am using picke and base64, to my knowledge both should work across m/c architecture (32bit, 64bit) and different python versions. Or I am mistaken ?

One observation is that the keys generated and saved on a 32 bit machines are running in to the problem when read on a 64 bit machine.  But if I generate it on a 64 bit machine.. it seems to work on a 32 bit machine. 

NOTE: This is just one variable... the machines have different python version, different linux distro..etc.

Thanks in advance.

/Jd
p.s. I am going to switch serialization and see if that helps.
