Crypto is a package that comes from pycrypto, which was last updated in 2013. It proudly supports Python 2.1 through 3.3. There's a near drop-in replacement from pycryptodome, which seems well maintained. pycryptodome has provided stubs for the last two years. I propose we get rid of the whole thing. pycrypto seems about as dead as software can get. These stubs have received two fixes since 2016. python#2952 https://pycryptodome.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/vs_pycrypto.html https://github.com/Legrandin/pycryptodome/blob/master/Changelog.rst#371-25-november-2018

It doesn't exist, since it was removed from typeshed in October (python/typeshed#4606). Similarly, pynamodb was removed in January. I haven't tracked down what happened to pyre-extensions in typeshed, but https://pypi.org/project/types-pyre-extensions/ doesn't exist and in any case mypy users presumably don't need it.

Crypto is a package that comes from pycrypto, which was last updated in
2013. It proudly supports Python 2.1 through 3.3.
There's a near drop-in replacement from pycryptodome, which seems well
maintained. pycryptodome has provided stubs for the last two years.
I propose we get rid of the whole thing. pycrypto seems about as dead as
software can get. These stubs have received two fixes since 2016.
I've opened this PR for concreteness, but I anticipate that there might
be more discussion to be had :-)
Pros:
provides stubs. Typeshed has even received a bug report from
someone who couldn't install pycrypto: add PyCrypto for python 3.6 #1683
don't install whatever stubs we package
library, probably a good thing
Cons:
developing their well typed codebases utilising modern
cryptography libraries)
