How can I install pycrypto on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine?

pip, pycrypto, python, windows

Solution

Voidspace now has prebuilt 64bit binaries:

eg. The 64bit binary for python 2.7

Problem

I tried installing PyCrypto using `pip`, but it complained about needing vcvarsall.bat. I installed Visual Studio 2008, but now I get `ValueError: [u'path']` when I try to install it from `pip`. I tried downloading a pre-built binary from Voidspace, but they only have 32-bit versions, and it doesn't seem to install correctly on my machine (it says it succeeded, but running python and trying `import Crypto` gives me an `ImportError: No module named Crypto`). What do I need to do?
