[issue43435] Py_BuildValue("y#".... returns incomplete result

Does mcrypt_generic() output base64 or ASCII-only data? Since you are converting the output to bytes, I assume the output may contain any byte. In that case strcpy() is not safe. You have to use memcpy().

Fun fact: Nintendo had a similar bug many years ago, check out "trucha bug"
