This was introduced by PyCrypto (python-crypto) 2.3, specifically the
following commit:

https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/commit/6833a7bf18aa2b78798a31afeaad3d0b0f3ae2ed

If the intent had been to solely catch an Exception at an earlier stage
with a more helpful message, this would appear to be a regression, as
python-keyczar builds fine with PyCrypto 2.1.

I'll have to investigate whether this is indeed a regression or just an
originally hidden bug in python-keyczar surfacing for the first time.


Thanks,
Christian
