Multiple exception types must be parenthesized error

When I run import simplecrypt in my python file. It encounters an error saying:

File "/home/codespace/.python/current/lib/python3.10/site-packages/simplecrypt/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    from Crypto.Random.random import getrandbits

    except IOError, e:
           ^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: multiple exception types must be parenthesized

Any help would be appreciated 👍🏻

Any answers on this?

Same here. It seems to be an issue with python 3.10.

Workaround:

• If your application can handle it, downgrade to python 3.9.
• pip install simple-crypt
• If you still get an error like this one, uninstall PyCrypto (dead) and install PyCryptodome (its living fork) as it says there: pip uninstall PyCrypto; pip install -U PyCryptodome
• Then it worked
