Does this happen on the development server? How does your development environment look like. Eclipse / Pydev? – voscausa Nov 02 '12 at 12:36

I you use Eclipse with Pydev: Have you added the lib to your Python interpreter path. And if that is not enough, you can try a forced build-in. – voscausa Nov 02 '12 at 12:43

And you have installed 1.7.2? Have you tried creating an new project using 1.7.2. Sometimes the libs you can select have changed. – voscausa Nov 02 '12 at 13:31

If you are not able to import anything from Crypto.Cipher at all, it might be due to folders, crypto and respective egg info, under site-packages are created with lower-case 'c'
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/crypto
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/crypto-1.0.0-py2.7.egg-info
Imports were successful when same case was used while importing
from crypto.Cipher import AES
or renaming the folders
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/Crypto-1.0.0-py2.7.egg-info
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/Crypto
I went with the later, to have consistency with others.
I use Eclipse and was able to overcome this problem using one of the above solutions. Sometimes we overlook these kind of details easily. Its a long shot, hope this helps!
