Additional context or screenshots (if appropriate)

KODI runs with python2.7 in gentoo. I had to copy the crytodomex-files in the kodi-running user’s homedir from python3.6 to python2.7 or there would be an import error of module Crypto.Random.

It runs now. The problem i faced was an old bug in (gentoo’s versions of) pycparser-2.17 to -2.19. I installed pycparser-2.14 and the plugin runs now. (I had already wondered what kind of optimizations GCC and LD might apply to python-programs which are basically textfiles.) I like this plugin! Very nice work. Thank Youi
