epstuart,
I ran the repair permissions function and got a LONG list of hits, I guess you could call them. I can reproduce them here if it helps. But then I tried the pycrypto install again and got the same error as before, so the disk repair doesn't seem to have fixed whatever the problem is.
Any other suggestions? I really appreciate help with figuring this out,

SonomaLass,
One of my blog posts may help you. To find it, enter "iPhone: Reading Adobe/EPUB eBooks" into a Google search box. It should be the first hit that Google lists.
If you go to my blog post and scroll down to Step 3, I talk about installing PyCrypto on Windows and Mac platforms. I have a Mac that runs OS X 10.5.x Leopard, and the PyCrypto install procedure I describe in Step 3 of my blog post worked for me.
The key steps are:
(1) Obtain
pycrypto-2.0.1.tar.gz using a link I give in my post and expand it into a
pycrypto-2.0.1 folder on the Desktop.
(2) Obtain an AppleScript app called
PyCrypto_2.0.1_Installer. It is what you get if you follow a second link in my post and download and expand
PyCrypto_2.0.1_Installer.app.zip.
(3) Run
PyCrypto_2.0.1_Installer, pointing it at the
pycrypto-2.0.1 folder on the Desktop.
The result should be a successful PyCrypto install that will allow you to use the relevant Python scripts to decrypt Adobe EPUB and PDF e-books. You will know that your PyCrypto install was OK if you see, after running
PyCrypto_2.0.1_Installer, the message "
Writing /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/pycrypto-2.0.1-py2.5.egg-info" in the terminal window that opens automatically when you run the AppleScript.
I can't give you direct links to my blog post or the things that
it links to because this forum does not permit direct links to methods of de-DRM'ing e-books.
Good luck!
