This sounds very much like it is an issue of how python works on intel
Macs. I don't know of anyone else who has tried this. But it would be a
python bug, not really a bzr one.

Instead of doing 'import Crypto' you should try to do:

python -c "import Crypto.Cipher.DES3"

I think the issue is that python can't load the extension modules.

I'm wondering if it would be as simple as 'mv foo.dylib foo.so'. But I'm
guessing python distutils hasn't been updated with the Intel Mac as a
target. So it sees that it is on a Mac, and is creating the wrong binary
files.

I'm not sure that we can help you more with this. You could try IRC, we
tend to be friendly and helpful, but I don't know that we have Intel Mac
experience.
