I am trying to install the python libraries based on the github repository, https://github.com/Dvorhack/MiBand3 such as
I use Parrot OS and connected to my Windows Laptop via USB and installing python libraries on that OS.

Please advise on how to fix the python error. I really need to install pycrypto.
I performed the commands below.

I expect the issues to be resolved without the need to install pycryptodome.
The error showed below.

PyCrypto 2.x is unmaintained, obsolete, and contains security vulnerabilities.
The project pycripto is deprecated and no longer mantained, and that github repo is old too. I see you have python 3.11 which is expected to happen, I had python 3.8 and had the same problem. Installing Cryptography 3.0 solved the problem for me.
Try PyCryptodome or Cryptography as alternatives as suggested on Pycripto official website.
