No module named 'winrandom' when using pycrypto

I already spent 2 days trying to install pyCrypto for Paramiko module.

So, first issue I had faced was this:

>>> import paramiko
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\paramiko\__init__.py", line 31
, in <module>
    from paramiko.transport import SecurityOptions, Transport
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\paramiko\transport.py", line 4
7, in <module>
    from paramiko.dsskey import DSSKey
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\paramiko\dsskey.py", line 26,
in <module>
    from Crypto.PublicKey import DSA
ImportError: No module named 'Crypto'

It is very fun actually because I use Windows and it doesn't care about uppercase. I changed a folder name from crypto to Crypto and this particular issue disappeared.

Now it wants winrandom:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\paramiko\__init__.py", line 31
, in <module>
    from paramiko.transport import SecurityOptions, Transport
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\paramiko\transport.py", line 4
7, in <module>
    from paramiko.dsskey import DSSKey
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\paramiko\dsskey.py", line 26,
in <module>
    from Crypto.PublicKey import DSA
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\Crypto\PublicKey\DSA.py", line
 89, in <module>
    from Crypto import Random
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\Crypto\Random\__init__.py", li
ne 28, in <module>
    from Crypto.Random import OSRNG
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\Crypto\Random\OSRNG\__init__.p
y", line 34, in <module>
    from Crypto.Random.OSRNG.nt import new
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\Crypto\Random\OSRNG\nt.py", li
ne 28, in <module>
    import winrandom
ImportError: No module named 'winrandom'

When I try to install it through PIP I fail with:

Cannot export PyInit_winrandom: symbol not defined

build\temp.win32-3.4\Release\src\winrandom.o:winrandom.c:(.text+0x12): undefined
 reference to `Py_InitModule'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

error: command 'c:\\mingw\\bin\\gcc.exe' failed with exit status 1

Seems like it doesn't support Python3.4.

Is there any way to make it all works in Win7 x86 with Python3.4 installed?

Installed modules:

crypto (1.1.0)
ecdsa (0.11)
Fabric (1.9.0)
paramiko (1.14.0)
pip (1.5.6)
pyasn1 (0.1.7)
pycrypto (2.6.1)
PyYAML (3.11)
rsa (3.1.4)
setuptools (2.1)

Python version 3.4.1

Problem is solved by editing string in crypto\Random\OSRNG\nt.py:

import winrandom

to

from . import winrandom
