>> pip install pycryptodome

from Crypto.Cipher import AES  #Works

or 

>> pip install pycryptodomex
from Cryptodome.Cipher import AES

For python3 the package name is now pycryptodome or pycryptodomex

If you need compatibility with your project with Python2 use pycryptodome or else use pycryptodomex which is a library independent of the old PyCrypto.
