Hi,

I’m currently doing an install for SAP Business One 9.3 for HANA. I have notice for this new version, the installer wants python\_crypto before I can proceed with the install. Can you share the command to get python\_crypto ?

Regards,

William

I am just guessing, but have you tried with zypper or Yast?

```auto
sudo zypper install python_crypto
```

If you do not see it, perhaps search for it first to get the name just right:

```auto
zypper search python
```

Feel free to pipe the output through ‘less’ or ‘grep’ to search a bit more.

Good luck.

Hi Ab,

When run sudo zypper install python\_crypto this is the response terminal gives me:

Refreshing service ‘nu\_novell\_com’.  
Loading repository data…  
Reading installed packages…  
‘python\_crypto’ not found in package names. Trying capabilities.  
No provider of ‘python\_crypto’ found.  
Resolving package dependencies…

When I run zypper search python, I get this response below. I’m wondering is there an repo I need to add to get python\_crypto ?

I’m not sure, but what about that python-m2crypto package which is already  
installed? Which function, exactly, do you really need (regardless of  
package information)? You may want to see which files are in that package  
to see if ti has what you already need:

```auto
rpm -ql python-m2crypto
```

Good luck.

Activate the SLES11SP4 SDK Add-on, it’s repository has  
python-crypto-2.0.1-28.20.1.x86\_64.rpm. After the Add-On is activated,  
you can just issue

zypper install python-crypto

Franz.

Thanks Franz!  
I found out that in YaST2 you can add following repository for accessing packages of SLES 11 SDK without downloading it all in an .iso:  
[https://nu.novell.com/repo/$RCE/SLE11-SDK-SP4-Pool/sle-11-x86\_64](https://nu.novell.com/repo/%24RCE/SLE11-SDK-SP4-Pool/sle-11-x86_64) (change “SP4” if you have a different SP).

When asked for credentials insert the ones you can find on [SUSE Customer Center](https://scc.suse.com) \> Organization \> Organization Credentials.

I don’t know if you need to register your SLES or not for this to work (I did it).

Hi Bardot,

> My problem is similar, I can not install python-openssl, says package not found, thank you very much.

have you tried Franz’ suggestion and to which effect? Are you on SLES for SAP Applications 11 SP4?

Which are your configured repositories at the moment?
