How to make correct arguments for decrypt function (Pycrypto/Blowfish)?

Question

Python

Hi everyone! There are encrypted cookies, the reception is not encrypted in python. But you need to decrypt them in python. For example, here is the cookie: wjhH1qBTHoD4oM4vkI9UzNaj3K2kCkXV%2BupPfs1hLrU%3D The
key and vector are saved in redis and look like this:
key: l\x1CF\x06\xAC\x00U\xD2v\xBEiQ\xD7\xE7\x0D_\xFA|\xFE_\ xD9\x11\xE9\x13\x83\xF3\x87\x86\[email protected]\x84
vector: \xF6a\xD9[w\xCA\[email protected]
Python code:

encrypted = "wjhH1qBTHoD4oM4vkI9UzNaj3K2kCkXV%2BupPfs1hLrU%3D"
  key = "l\x1CF\x06\xAC\x00U\xD2v\xBEiQ\xD7\xE7\x0D_\xFA|\xFE_\xD9\x11\xE9\x13\x83\xF3\x87\x86\[email protected]\x84"
  iv = " \xF6a\xD9[w\xCA\[email protected]"
  cipher = Blowfish.new(key, Blowfish.MODE_CBC, iv)
  bs = Blowfish.block_size
  encrypted = encrypted[bs:]
  print(cipher.decrypt(encrypted))

And the question is: how to convert the input strings so that decrypt() can gobble them up without any problems?
