Error 1 while installing pip package (pycrypto)
I've been trying to install pycrypto. After getting this error, I tried to uninstall python 3.7 and install 3.6 as specified by a thread somewhere. This didn't make it any better. Please let me know how to resolve this. I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, Python 3.6.

If you are using
pip to install and you got that error, look above it in the rest of the output. I get the same error output as you have above and the reason is most likely that above in the output it says that I need Visual Studio Build Tools installed– Austin Yates

No Problem - always look above where you see the error to make sure there wasn't an earlier reported problem and then handle the errors in order

You can also install via wheels, which usually include the binary so you don't have to compile.
