I noticed that as well. Pycrypto is no longer maintained and has an
extremely serious bug that was never fixed in a released version:
https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/176
And the author seems to implicitly agree that people should stop using
it:
https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/173
So I added a TODO comment to the package, saying that we should remove
it:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/python-crypto.scm?id=12a130b0118c3f56e6337e011dc4a89f2671359a#n186
So, I recommend being careful how you use any package that depends on
pycrypto.
