ImportError: cannot import name 'winrandom'

Question

I know that this question has already a ton of answers but unfortunately this hasn't fixed the issue for me. I want to run some code using PyCrytpo but winrandom doesn't want to get import.

All the other posts are for earlier releases of python. I am using Python 3.6.5 and renaming code within nt.py file to "from . import winrandom" doesn't do the trick for me.

Do you have any suggestions or is a rollback the only opportunity?

I would vote that using a crypto library that is no longer maintained and 5 years dead is a high security risk. Consider looking for another library — FlyingTeller, Jul 23 '19 at 09:49
@FlyingTeller thanks for your input. Which library would you choose instead of crypto? — Markus Göhler, Jul 29 '19 at 10:02
