I'm afraid so. You could accomplish this by removing the too-old
pycryptopp or by installing a new one.

There is a feature which is intended to fix this:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/530# use setuptools's
--multi-version mode

If you would like to try it and report back then apply the following patch:

Perhaps setup.py test was testing the old copy of Tahoe-LAFS installed
into your system instead of testing the new copy in whose source tree
was your current working directory?

Yes. That is pretty confusing. Are you sure that's what happened?
