[PYTHON-CRYPTO] Question

[Rob Schmersel]

Hi,

I'm trying to use DES3 in the pycrypto-1.9a4 package (I know that a
1.9a6 package is available, but I'm working on windows and have not
succeeded to build a package as I have none of the required
c-compilers).
And I have the follwoing problem:
When encrypting and decrypting a message, the first 8 bytes turn into
gibberish.
  >>> from Crypto.Cipher import DES3
  >>> o=DES3.new('0011223344556677',DES3.MODE_CBC,'00000000')
  >>> t='Stick em up! This is a hold up'
  >>> c=o.encrypt(t+' '*(DES3.block_size-len(t)%DES3.block_size))
  >>> o.decrypt(c)
  >>> '\x7f\xdd\xe5\xfa"\xac\x13Z up! This is a hold up  '

Anybody out there who can help me??

/Rob
