Description
This warning occurs when importing PyCrypto? 2.4.1:
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pycrypto-2.4.1-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/Crypto/Util/number.py:57: PowmInsecureWarning: Not using mpz_powm_sec. You should rebuild using libgmp >= 5 to avoid timing attack vulnerability.
We probably just need to accelerate our programme to get rid of PyCrypto? (http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4633).
