Comment 1 Paul Howarth 2020-08-18 17:33:57 UTC 
I really don't want to do this. It's long dead upstream and security-sensitive.

Can't you use python-pycryptodomex instead, which is already in EPEL-8?
Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2020-08-18 17:38:17 UTC 
Good question - it seems like Nagstamon (https://github.com/HenriWahl/Nagstamon) depends on this old piece of software...
Comment 3 Paul Howarth 2020-08-18 18:11:14 UTC 
Does it even use python-crypto? I see it listed as a dependency but I don't see it actually being used.
Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2020-08-19 15:38:12 UTC 
No, it is not used at all (Nagstamon works properly without on RHEL 8). It's just listed as a dependency and I got tricked by that.
