Python Translation of C# DES Encryption

[Andreas Pauley]

Hi all,

I'm trying to implement a Python equivalent of a C# method that encrypts 
a string.
My Python attempt is in the attached file, but does not return the same 
value as the C# method (see below).

Any hints?

Thanks,
Andreas

The C# method:

public static string Encrypt(string decrypted)
{
    byte[] data = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(decrypted);
    byte[] rgbKey = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes("12345678");
    byte[] rgbIV  = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes("87654321");

    MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(1024);

    DESCryptoServiceProvider desCryptoServiceProvider = new    
DESCryptoServiceProvider();

    CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(memoryStream,
        desCryptoServiceProvider.CreateEncryptor(rgbKey, rgbIV),
        CryptoStreamMode.Write);

    cryptoStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
    cryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock();
    byte[] result = new byte[(int)memoryStream.Position];
    memoryStream.Position = 0;
    memoryStream.Read(result, 0, result.Length);
    cryptoStream.Close();
    return System.Convert.ToBase64String(result);
}
