Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:

That sounds good to me, though you may want to propose the error message here 
first so we can get the wording right - probably not everyone will be watching 
github PR.

It probably makes sense to raise a different error message on platforms where 
we do expect it to have been built - the same confusion could arise there.

Some starting points (that will likely need improvement):

win32: raise ImportError("The crypt module is not supported on Windows")

not win32: raise ImportError("The required _crypt module was not built as part 
of CPython")
