It has several issues (some security-related) that won't be fixed
because the project isn't being maintained.

Here's the test failure message:

warning Link is broken: https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptography/ are-links-valid

A flake? The link seems to work for me. (It's not related to this change, either, of course.)

Could you please provide a link stating that pycrypto is not maintained? I have not found any warnings neither on https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/ nor https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto

Thanks!

I think this is the closest you'll get to official:
pycrypto/pycrypto#173
(That's over a year old, and hasn't been contradicted by the author.)

There's a reference to this major security issue in that thread, too:
pycrypto/pycrypto#176
