+PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level
+cryptographic primitives.
+It supports Python 2.7, Python 3.7 and newer, and PyPy.
+
+The installation procedure depends on the package you want the library
+to be in.
+
+PyCryptodome is used here as an almost drop-in replacement for the old
+PyCrypto library.
+In this case, all modules are installed under the Crypto package.
+One must avoid having both PyCrypto and PyCryptodome installed at the
+same time, as they will interfere with each other.
+
+For a library independent of the old PyCrypto, install PyCryptodomex.
+In this case, all modules are installed under the Cryptodome package.
+PyCrypto and PyCryptodome can coexist. There's another SlackBuild for
+it in the repo.
