Comment (by warner):

 Oh, the error message that you'll see during a tahoe {{{python setup.py
 build}}} looks like this:

 {{{
 Downloading
 http://ftp.dlitz.net/pub/dlitz/crypto/pycrypto/pycrypto-2.4.tar.gz
 Processing pycrypto-2.4.tar.gz
 Running pycrypto-2.4/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-
 HJf2HF/pycrypto-2.4/egg-dist-tmp-1K72g5
 Failure to get the list of managed files from darcs -- if you are building
 a package with 'setup.py sdist', 'setup.py bdist_egg', or other package-
 building commands, then the resulting package might be missing some files.
 If you are not building a package then you can ignore this warning.
 error: Setup script exited with error: src/config.h: No such file or
 directory
 }}}

 and a straightforward workaround is to either install a suitable !PyCrypto
 OS package (e.g. {{{apt-get install python-crypto}}}), or to download the
 [http://ftp.dlitz.net/pub/dlitz/crypto/pycrypto/pycrypto-2.4.tar.gz
 PyCrypto tarball], unpack it, and install it (without your OS's knowledge,
 if you're comfortable with that sort of thing) with {{{python setup.py
 install}}}.
