mod-ui is not compatible with python3.11, so this wont work.

for pycrypto it can be replaced with pycryptodomex, and the code has already been prepared to work for both, but afaik we cannot put "this || that" kinda dependency in the requirements.txt so we keep compat with current MOD environment first.

try installing via https://github.com/moddevices/mod-panel which contains some workarounds for this

What pythons is it compatible with?

I could install it.
